Confluence allows you to localise the formats used to display dates and times within the web interface. The settings use the syntax of Java's SimpleDateFormat class (described below).

To change the time and date formats:

1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click on 'General Configuration' in the left panel.
   
   
2. Click 'Edit' at the bottom of the 'Options and Settings' screen.
   
   
   • There are three time and date format settings:
     • Time Format : displaying only the time of day (for example, when each news item is posted)
     • Date Time Format : displaying both the date and the time of day (for example, in historical versions of pages)
     • Date Format : displaying only the date (for example, the creation and most recent modification dates of pages)
       
       
3. Change the formats using the guidelines in this document.
   
   
4. 'Save' your changes.
