The preview shows the current shot time. After you apply a new time, that time is shown in orange. Nothing is written until you save. Replace writes a new year, month, day, hour, minute, or second. Leave a field blank to keep that part. Set the year to 2019 and a photo from 2016-03-05 becomes 2019-03-05. Shift adds or subtracts time. A minus sign moves backward.
