The time zone is a crucial element for Webflow sites, as it determines the exact time of publication of content and data. An incorrect configuration can cause synchronization mismatches and affect the user experience. Therefore, it is important to set the time zone correctly for your Webflow project to ensure consistent synchronization of the time your information is published and the correct display of the date and time for users in your region.

This article explains how to set the time zone on your Webflow project in a few simple steps.
