Design and accessibility for date modified

Ensure consistent placement

• Place the date modified component between the body, or main content, of the page and the footer.
• Use the same placement of the date modified component across all web pages to make it findable.

Keep the format consistent

• Use the YYYY-MM-DD date format across all web pages.
• If using the version type, consider using a standard version number format across all products.
