Does making adjustments to content in the CMS change the original publishing date in Webflow?

No, making adjustments to content in the Webflow CMS does not change the original publishing date. However, updating and republishing an item does affect its "Last Edited" or "Updated" timestamp, depending on the settings you're using.

1. How Webflow Handles CMS Publishing Dates

• Each CMS item has an initial creation date when it's first published.
• Editing an existing CMS entry does not overwrite the original publish date.
• The timestamp for edits (Last Edited) gets updated when you save changes.
• If your collection lists or pages use a dynamic "Updated Date" field, edits will reflect there.

2. How to Show an "Updated" Date

If you want to display the last modified date on your site:

• Use the "Updated On" field in your CMS collection.
• Display it in your Webflow design using dynamic text.
• This will update whenever you modify and republish the CMS item.

3. When the Publish Date Might Change

The original publish date remains unchanged, but Webflow resets the publish status under these conditions:

• If the item is unpublished and then republished.
• If you're using Webflow’s API or Zapier to manage content, some automation settings might affect timestamps.

Summary

Editing content in the Webflow CMS does not change the original publish date, but it does update the Last Edited timestamp. If you want to display an "Updated" date, you can use the "Updated On" field in your design.
