# Date Time Editors

The Date Time property editors provide interfaces for selecting dates, times, and time zones. Each editor is designed for specific use cases, from basic date selection to comprehensive date/time handling with time zone support.

{% hint style="info" %}
These property editors replace the legacy `[Date Time](../date-time.md)` property editor. They offer more focused functionality and specific return types (such as `DateOnly`, `TimeOnly`, `DateTime`, or `DateTimeOffset`). You can switch from the legacy Date Time editor by changing your properties to use the new editors.
{% endhint %}

Umbraco CMS currently ships with four Date Time editors:
