How to Set and Embed the Current World Date in Your Articles

The current date feature is a handy tool that helps you stay consistent with your world's timelines and calendars. Here's how you can set it and embed it anywhere!

Set the current date

1. Open the Articles and World Manager from the left sidebar
2. Access the world page by clicking your world name at the top of the left panel.
3. Then, under the world title, click on the current date to edit it.

Embed the current date anywhere

If set, the current date will be displayed in your world homepage. But if you also want it elsewhere, follow these steps:

1. Open your world settings by clicking the gear icon button at the bottom of the sidebar and then the double gear icon.
2. On the right, click on "World Widgets".
3. There, copy the "world current date" and paste it anywhere on World Anvil to embed it (you need to use the Advanced BBCode Editor).
