Applying Customized Timestamps on Versions
There are two types of timestamps that most sites use. Relative timestamps display the number of minutes, hours, days, weeks, or years ago a post was published. Absolute timestamps display the exact date and time a post was published.
Shinydrive is set to display relative timestamps by default.
