# How to Use Timestamp Link **Timestamp Link** uses [[Moment.js Format|moment.js]] to format the date and time to be appended. - For example, if `20230101120030` is the desired text to be appended, then `YYYYMMDDHHmmss` needs to be configured in settings. - In addition, **square brackets** are needed to surround the content that is not part of the format string. - On the other hand, symbols such as `:` **cannot be used** in Obsidian as block IDs. Therefore, one should experiment the proper format for the timestamp. ## Learn More About Timestamp Link - [[Key Features of Timestamp Link]] - [[Acknowledgments for Timestamp Link]]
