1. When a page is changed, shouldn’t the date change too? “lastmod 2025-07-10 lastmod”.

2. When adding a new page or a subpage, there is no date at all.

Thanks for the report… just looking into that now.

Do you have an example of the current output, compared to how it should look?

I changed it today:

i know this problem (or “feature”) from RapidWeaver Classic. If you uncheck “Show in Navigation”, no update date is added to the sitemap.

Maybe it’s the same here in Elements.

The first one is the “Home” page and it’s in the Navigation Menu.  
The second is ticked for sitemap.

This should now be fixed in the latest build - [Elements 1.0.9 (23745 )](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/elements-1-0-9-23745/49097/1)
