  Hi @Josh Thiessen,

  you only need to add a helper after the article title, see in the below image how I did:

  

   

  Code for the same:

  <ul class="meta-group">
     {{#is created_at edited_at}}
        <li class="meta-data">{{date created_at timeago=true}}</li>
          {{else}}
        <li class="meta-data">{{date edited_at timeago=true}}</li>
        <li class="meta-data">{{t 'updated'}}</li>
          {{/is}}
  </ul>

   

   

  Output is:

  

   

   

   

   

  You can use the date format via https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/help_center/help-center-templates/helpers/#date-helper

   

  I). Short -

  {{date created_at timeago=true format='short'}}

  

   

   

  II). Medium-

  {{date created_at timeago=true format='medium'}}

   

  

   

  III). Medium-

  {{date created_at timeago=true format='long'}}

  

   

   

  Thanks

  @...

  Hi Ifra, That's fantastic. The code you provided works exactly how i was hoping initially. I did run into an issue when I tried to add the medium-sized time stamp (Picture included).
  
  do you know what I've done wrong?
  
  Is it also possible to add "updated XXX months ago" instead of just "updated"?

  I was messing around a little, but all the changes i made either had it look like my screenshot or nothing at all.

  

   

  Thank you so much for the help so far :)

  Hey,  

  You need to add the time format into the updated helper also, see the bold code-line, how I did-

  <ul class="meta-group">
     {{#is created_at edited_at}}
        <li class="meta-data">{{date created_at timeago=true format='medium'}}</li>
          {{else}}
        <li class="meta-data">{{date edited_at timeago=true format='medium'}}</li>
        <li class="meta-data">{{t 'updated'}}</li>
          {{/is}}

   

  The helper 

  <li class="meta-data">{{date edited_at timeago=true format='medium'}}</li>

  shows last date when you have updated the article.

   

  See in the below screenshot, I have updated my article today 17 sep 2021.

  

   

  and I was created this article on 19 dec 2016

  

   

  I think you should also try this, if you have any old article, take a screenshot and then update that old article, then compare the date.

   

  also you can add the text for created article, see the bold code-line:

          <ul class="meta-group">
     {{#is created_at edited_at}}
        <li class="meta-data">{{date created_at timeago=true format='medium'}}</li>
                   <li class="meta-data">{{t 'created'}}</li>
          {{else}}
        <li class="meta-data">{{date edited_at timeago=true format='medium'}}</li>
        <li class="meta-data">{{t 'updated'}}</li>
          {{/is}}
  </ul>

   

  Output:

  

   

  If any confusion, let me know :)

  Thanks

  Ifra
