For all content uploaded to the Knowledge Hub, Fluid Topics automatically generates a value for the ft:lastPublication and the ft:lastEdition metadata.

Users with the ADMIN, KHUB_ADMIN, and/or CONTENT_PUBLISHER role(s) users can manually configure dates in order to override these dates.

The following table provides information about how to manually configure dates for different types of content publishing formats.

Format Last Edition Date Last Edition Date
Author-it Corresponds to the date on which the document was last uploaded to Fluid Topics. Corresponds to the date on which the document or topic was last modified (<ModifiedDate> tag). This tag is found in the XML file of the Author-it export archive.
DITA Corresponds to the date on which the document was last uploaded to Fluid Topics. Corresponds to the @modified attribute defined in the DITA map:
<critdates><revised modified="2021-09-13"></critdates>
If @modified is not defined, the "last edition" value is the date on which the document was last uploaded to Fluid Topics.

It is also possible to define the @modified attribute at the topic level. When the DITA map level already defines the @modified attribute, the topic inherits the value from the map. Fluid Topics overwrites any existing value at the topic level.
FTML Corresponds to the date on which the document was last modified in Fluid Topics. Corresponds to ft:lastEdition in the ftmap.

Example:
<ft:metas><ft:meta key="ft:lastEdition">2021-09-01</ft:meta></ft:metas>
Unstructured Documents Corresponds to the date on which the document was last uploaded to Fluid Topics. Although Fluid Topics natively ignores date-related metadata for Unstructured Documents, it is possible to set ft:lastEdition in a control file.
Flare Corresponds to the date on which the document was last modified in Fluid Topics. Corresponds to ft:lastEdition in the control file.
Word Corresponds to the date on which the document was last modified in Fluid Topics. Corresponds to ft:lastEdition in the control file.

It is necessary to format dates as follows: YYYY-MM-DD for ft:lastEdition and YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSSSS for ft:lastPublication.
