+The `themeConfig.lastUpdated` option allows you to get the UNIX timestamp(ms) of each file's last `git` commit, and it will also display at the bottom of each page with a appropriate format:
+
+``` js
+module.exports = {
+  themeConfig: {

+::: warning
+  Since `lastUpdated` is based on `git`, so you can only use it in a `git` repository.

 Prev and next links are automatically inferred based on the sidebar order of the active page. You can also explicitly overwrite or disable them using `YAML front matter`:

+你可以通过 `themeConfig.lastUpdated` 选项来获取每个文件最后一次 `git` 提交的 UNIX 时间戳(ms)，同时它将以合适的日期格式显示在每一页的底部：
+
+``` js
+module.exports = {
+  themeConfig: {
+    lastUpdated: 'Last Updated', // string | boolean
+  }
+}
+```
+
+请注意，`themeConfig.lastUpdated` 默认是关闭的，如果给定一个字符串，它将会作为前缀显示（默认值是：`Last Updated`）。
+
+::: warning 使用须知
+  由于 `lastUpdated` 是基于 `git` 的, 所以你只能在一个基于 `git` 的项目中启用它。
