Outstand Silent Update
======================

[](#outstand-silent-update)

> Update a post without changing its modified date in the Block Editor.

Description
-----------

[](#description)

When you fix a typo, adjust formatting, or make minor edits to a published post, you may not want the "Last Modified" date to change. This plugin adds a **Silent Update** button to the Block Editor that saves your changes while preserving the original modified date.

This is useful when:

- Fixing typos or formatting on older content
- Updating internal links or media without signaling a content change
- Preventing RSS feeds from resurfacing old posts after minor edits
- Keeping "Last Updated" displays accurate to actual content changes

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

1. Open a published post in the Block Editor.
2. Click the **Silent Update** button in the editor header toolbar.
3. A sidebar opens showing the current date and the last modified date that will be preserved.
4. Click **Save silently** to save your changes without updating the modified date.

The button only appears for published posts on supported post types.

------------
