What you are seeing

The Created column and the list order on the global page do not reflect when someone last edited a document.


#Why it happens

Both use the attachment's created date, not an edit time. Editing re-uploads, so an edit does refresh it, but only if the index was updated.


#What to do

Treat the date as an upload date. If an edited file has not moved to the top, the index for that issue has not been refreshed.

What it does

Sort tabs

Issue view > Markdown panel > sort button

#A few things that catch people out

  • The panel's Version, Created by and Last modified by values are cosmetic and are never stored.

  • The tab sort preference is stored on the issue, not on the user, so changing it changes the order for every viewer; write failures are ignored.



Found it? Good.
