Post publish dates: can these be manually changed?

I have a small existing site running on Evo. I am thinking about redoing it with the latest Revo. The existing site has some blog like posts using Ditto. Each post presents a published date.

If I switch to Revo I will recreate each page from scratch. This should be too bad really. I then want to use the Articles snippet for blogging. My plan is just to copy and paste each Ditto post from the Evo site into the new Articles system in the Revo site. The one major issue would be the published dates. I don't want all these posts to show that published dates was "yesterday". I want to be able to manually apply the previous Ditto published dates into the Articles posts.

Is this doable?

Thanks!

yes

Be sure to set Published On (on the Settings tab), not Publish Date. Also, be sure to check the Published box or the date may be zeroed out when you save.
