Issue

Wrong date displays when inserting the date in an entry

Environment

Notebook entries - all versions and systems

Cause

Inserted dates aren’t in chronological order. Date inserts are connected to your calendar, so out-of-order dates would break parts of what Benchling displays.

Solution

Undo the change by pressing Cntrl + Z ( + Z  on a Mac) or revert the entry to a previous version.

Structure notebook entries from oldest work at the top to most recent at the bottom. If your entry requires dates that are out of order, use headers instead.
