Show Last Updated

Help readers understand how current your documentation is by displaying the date a page was last updated. You can also show the name of the person who made the most recent change.

Enable the Last Updated footer

CamelMind displays the Last updated footer by default.

To explicitly enable or disable it, update camelmind.config.ts:

site: {
  showLastUpdated: true,
},

To hide the footer on all pages:

site: {
  showLastUpdated: false,
},

When enabled, CamelMind displays the last updated date at the bottom of every documentation page.

Show the author

To include the author of the most recent change, enable showLastUpdateAuthor:

site: {
  showLastUpdated: true,
  showLastUpdateAuthor: true,
},

Example:

🕐 Last updated by Jane Doe on July 22, 2026

If showLastUpdateAuthor is disabled, only the date is shown.

🕐 July 22, 2026

Override the last updated date

By default, CamelMind determines the last updated date automatically. If you want to display a specific date instead, add the last_updated field to the page's frontmatter.

---
title: Getting started
last_updated: "2026-06-01"
---

CamelMind displays this value instead of the automatically detected date.

How CamelMind determines the date

CamelMind determines the last updated date in the following order:

1. The page's last_updated frontmatter field, if present.
2. Otherwise, the file's last modified timestamp.

How CamelMind determines the author

When showLastUpdateAuthor is enabled, CamelMind uses the author of the most recent Git commit that modified the page.

If Git history isn't available—for example, when building from an exported archive—the author is omitted even if the feature is enabled.
