Module Description
The Last Updated module provides a checkbox on the node form that allows editors the choice to display an "Updated" date, distinct from the "Authored on" date.
Features
* Control the placement of this information through the Block Layout UI
* Control the text and date format of the display
* Set a default value for newly created nodes, per node type
Configuration
* Configure user permissions at Administration » People » Permissions (/admin/people/permissions). The permission Configure the display of the node last updated date grants the ability to toggle the display of the last updated date on all node types; users with the additional Administer content types permission will be able to set the default display (on/off) per node type.
* Place the "Last Updated date block" block in the active theme layout at Administration » Structure » Block layout (/admin/structure/block). Typically, this would be placed in the main content region, either preceding or following the "Main page content" block.
* Optionally set the default display for existing content types at Administration » Structure » Content types (/admin/structure/types). On the "Edit" tab for each content type, use the "Page Display Defaults" section to set whether new nodes should default to having the display of the last updated date toggled on or off (this is just the default, and can be toggled on or off on the individual node).

Module Summary
The Last Updated module aims to solve the issue of displaying an 'Updated' date separately from the 'Authored on' date on node forms, giving editors control over placement, text, date format, and default values for newly created nodes.
