Add missing ms.date attribute to markdown files

[Copilot]

Build validation flagged 6 markdown files missing the required ms.date frontmatter attribute for content freshness tracking.

Changes

Added ms.date: 01/20/2026 to YAML frontmatter in:

• GA-version/analytics/in-built-reports/category-view-report.md
• GA-version/analytics/in-built-reports/course-view-report.md
• GA-version/analytics/in-built-reports/group-view-report.md
• GA-version/analytics/in-built-reports/learner-report-card-view.md
• GA-version/analytics/in-built-reports/overall-summary.md
• GA-version/content-management/content-management-overview.md

The date used (01/20/2026) is the date these articles were last updated in the main branch.

Example

ms-date-missing

Missing attribute: ms.date. A freshness date is required for this content. Add a date in format MM/DD/YYYY.

Description

Some content groups require ms.date to indicate "freshness" - that is, when the article was last reviewed for relevance, accuracy, correct screenshots, and working links. Freshness isn't the same as the last date the article was published, which will show on the page if ms.date isn't explicitly specified. We can consider to use the date that this article is updated in main branch.

Resolution

Confirm that the article is up to date with no broken content, then add a valid date in the format MM/DD/YYYY:

YAML

---
ms.date: 02/19/2019
