Hi! I’ve hunted for an answer for the following, but failed.
Could anybody point me to information about what data is or could be automatically published at the top of a post as a consequence of it being re-opened and edited by the author post-publication?
I’m actually interested in a simple statement automatically being inserted at the top, perhaps near where the date of publication is found, or perhaps the reading time.
For example:—“Edited”
But I can see that this is also a window into a wider topic about transparency.
For example, this Forum takes the topic seriously by having a sophisticated method of keeping track of all edits that has similarities to a coding repository.
Additionally:—
- I realise that the publication date will not change unless the original post is copied and re-published as a second otherwise identical post.
- I also realise that reading time will automatically change if the template presents that data for the post.
- And I realise that this can be achieved ‘long-hand’ in any edited post by simply typing in text at the top (in the body or perhaps by using a call-out box).
So, my interest is in an automatic record being placed at the the top of a post arising as a consequence of it being edited.
However, I would welcome other perhaps more sophisticated options users have developed for their post templates.
Thanks!
