 ## Core configuration
 
+### Fixed time zone
+
+By default dates are formatted including the local user time zone as that
+matches git tools. Some users/administrators may prefer normalizing to a
+particular timezone so times are directly comparable without doing timezone
+arithmetic.
+
+Setting `fixedTimeZone` to a valid Java TimeZone ID causes all dates in the UI
+to be implicitly converted to this timezone, and the now-redundant timezone
+offset to be dropped from the output.
