 ====== Understanding file timestamps ======
-The File Fabric uses [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time|UTC]] as an independent time format. This means that times for files are shown as UTC times and UTC is used to enable the File Fabric to understand whether a file needs to be updated or versioned.
+The File Fabric does not store any files and it works with remote copies of data that it has indexed. It uses [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time|UTC]] as an independent time format to display information about files. This means that times for files are shown as UTC times and UTC is used to enable the File Fabric to understand whether a file needs to be updated or versioned.
 ===== 1 File modified times =====
+Hovering over the time field or looking at the file info pane in the File Fabric Web Browser shows 4 different times:\\ \\ **SME Created (if SaaS) Storage Created (if on-premises)**  -  This is the time the file was added to the File Fabric in UTC format \\ \\ **SME Modified (if SaaS) Storage Modified (if on-premises)**  - The last modified time for the file in UTC format\\ \\ **Local Desktop Time**- The local modified time for the file, converted to UTC format (for the browser this will be based on the browser locale settings)\\ \\ **Remote Cloud Time** - The modified timestamp that was received from a files metadata, converted to UTC, from a mapped storage provider.
