Description

I would like to be able to show both the original published date and then revised dates on advisories, such as guidances. Showing only the published date, since it doesnt actually say "published," can be confusing since the guidance may have been recently updated.

A workaround would be to stick the updated date in the Section Title or Body Text, but that's not very elegant.

This was raised by DEP in a SN request (SCTASK0144920) regarding one of its guidances (https://edit.mass.gov/guidance/guidance-to-conservation-commissions-and-applicants-for-submissions-during-massdep-office)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the requested behavior and the linked guidance example at edit.mass.gov to understand how the current published date is presented. Define how original and revised dates should be represented and displayed, then identify the project entry points and acceptance criteria before implementation; the issue names no files or tests.
