FAQ
What can I do if the inserted date does not update automatically?
- Check whether you are using the date control in collaboration mode.
- Note that this date control currently supports inserting a date, but not automatic updates.
- If you need a new date, reinsert the date or edit the content manually.
Why does a date control from a local file disappear after the file is opened online?
- Check whether the file contains control content that depends on the local editing environment.
- If the original date control is not shown after opening online, return to local editing mode to view it.
- You can also insert the Date control again in the current environment.
Why is the time in the inserted date control not the current time?
- Check whether your computer's local time is correct.
- Note that the date control uses the computer's local time to identify and display the default inserted time.
- If the local time is incorrect, correct the system time and insert the date again.
