Once the documentation generation is complete, it could be useful to store the latest generation date and time somewhere in the project. It could be done using a "Run script" Build action which executes a script using HelpNDoc's API methods to store the last generation date and time in the project topic's custom properties:

Action property

Value

Description

Script content

begin
  var aProjectTopicId := HndTopics.GetProjectTopic();
  HndTopicsProperties.SetTopicCustomPropertyValue(
    aProjectTopicId,
    'Last HTML Generation',
       FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss', Now)
  );   
end.

Custom script to set the project topic's custom property to the current date and time.
