    Switched to TSF recently and love it – beautifully engineered with clear guidelines. There is one question I couldn’t find an answer to: advice on updating old posts. Yoast has an Update-and-Republish for this purpose. Of course I can just edit and publish with a new date, or copy the text into a new post and then edit it and add new content. If that’s the best course, I’d just like to know. I would leave the old post in the archives and just do a new one, maybe referring to the original text. I included a link above to an example – easy to see why I might want to refresh this with some current news.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi Karen,

    Thank you for the kind words ??.

    The feature you’re talking about comes with “Yoast Duplicate Post,” and it should work without issue next to The SEO Framework (Yoast is known for their SEO plugin, but they also have other plugins). See https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicate-post/.

    But yes, you can also manually change the published data via the content editor. It’d save you from maintaining another plugin.

    Search engines have shown signs that they prefer “fresh” content. Still, I recommend going through this article first: https://ahrefs.com/blog/republishing-content/. The flowchart they posted near the start of the article is quite helpful.

    I’m on it now. Advice much appreciated. I find that I have neglected the websites – letting them become static – while putting fresh content into Substack. Change underway thanks to TSF. Thank you.
