I've just had my attention drawn to the fact that the date hadn't updated on one of my schematics after I made a few changes to component values. I was thankful find a thread on this subject in the archive. I had already tried (unnecessarily) editing the sheet properties and saving the netlist before searching, but I would never have thought of annotating to update the date. The Help just says "The date is automatically updated".
I can understand why the date shouldn't just reflect when you last saved the file, but surely it should update after any change. Am I missing something?
