# Date & Time

Sometimes, you want to offload yesterday's material and obviously not use today's timestamps. OffShoot allows you to control such metadata without having to reset your computer's time and date (which will lead to a bunch of trouble). 

In OffShoot's Settings > General page, you can control date and time. Here, we've set the timestamp to Jan 1st:

You can reset the timestamp to again follow the system time by hitting the `Now` button. Until that button is changed, the date is static; in this example, it doesn't roll over into Jan 2nd.

For shoots that run late into the night, it's possible to automatically keep OffShoot from disregarding what is technically a new day. In this setting, OffShoot will switch to tomorrow at 4am (04:00)
