Every time I need to refer back to the table of date formatting options for the column ‘Format Date’ I cannot find the link to the Glide documentation… I recall there is a link to an internationally recognized list of abbreviations.

Can you share the link please… 🙂

Might be an idea to update the search results in the Glide Documentation site so that it comes up when searching for Format Date, etc…

Ps… I’m looking to format a date to give Aug 2021 (month-yy doesn’t do it!)

Google searched and answer was MMM y.

Would still love the link to the full table of options though 🙂

I used to be able to search for this page, but the Glide Docs search feature seems to be very limited now.

> **[Glide • Plugins](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins)**
>
> Extend your apps with experimental features.

From this page, select “Format Date” which will take you here:

> **[Glide • Format Date column](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/format-date)**
>
> Powerful date & time formatting with luxon.

But what you really want is the Luxon documentation page which is here:

> **[luxon - Immutable date wrapper](https://moment.github.io/luxon/#/formatting?id=table-of-tokens)**
>
> Immutable date wrapper

This has all of the shortcuts and you can play with them to find what you are looking for. I use it regularly.
