Hi @A_maity002 

Navigate to widget - Knowledge Article Content, Create a clone of it and comment out the line which populates the variable "data.revisionString" in the server script.
Finally, add this new widget to your page.

Hello @Vijayalakshmi P ,

It will be issue for cloning the widgets. If further upgrade is happening or implementing widgets instance. Is there any other solution to edit OOTB widgets without cloning it ?

Hi, as far as I am aware, we cannot edit OOTB widgets.

remove 'Revised by' by configuring the Instance Options - Knowledge Article Content by adding CSS

.author {
display: none;
}

There is no need to clone and modify OOB widget. Although, if you use versioning there will be some name still included in the version options
