Chronicles mix maps and timelines to display history in both space and time. A timeline in Chronicles can display up to four parallel events, using the various lanes—but you can create additional timelines too!

  1. While editing the Chronicle, click the green plus icon in the bottom right corner of the map area.
  2. Select "Add Timeline".

  3. Give the timeline a name and click "Create".

To edit a timeline, click the gear icon next to a timeline name or open the timelines manager from the right.
