+### Page Last Modification
+
+The date of the page's last modification can be displayed by enabling the `params.displayUpdatedDate` flag. To use Git commit date as the source, enable also the `enableGitInfo` flag.

+To customize the date format, set the `params.dateFormat` parameter. Its layout matches Hugo's [`time.Format`](https://gohugo.io/functions/time/format/).

+```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
+# Parse Git commit
+enableGitInfo: true
+
+params:
+  # Display the last modification date
+  displayUpdatedDate: true
+  dateFormat: "January 2, 2006"
