My 2021 iMac M1 (Tahoe 26.1) finder is not updating files dates properly.
I have tried timezone, security & privacy & general settings (& restarted) but the finder is still making up file dates from (sometimes) years ago to files that I was working days ago.
any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I can't trust my finder to record the latest iteration of my files which I send out to my supplier for printing

Are the files located in your Documents folder or on the Desktop? Do you have iCloud Drive enabled and syncing Desktop & Documents folders? Are the files located on a network share? More details about where the files are stored would be helpful.
Thank you oh Bigwaff. 😎 All my files are in Documents. Nothing ever on desktop as a rule for me. I do have iCloud Drive enabled (not shared). I'll check into syncing. Thanks again for the tip.
