The direct answer

A dated guide can become misleading when the interface or policy it describes changes. A revision date should represent a real content review.

What to check

Identify platform-dependent instructions and compare them with current official guidance. Check screenshots, menu names and eligibility statements separately.

What to do next

Update the affected explanation and record what changed. Avoid automatically refreshing every article's date on deployment when its substance has not been reviewed.

Further reading

Platform guidance can change. Consult the current official documentation before making platform-specific changes.
