Timeline

The Timeline snippet creates an offset two-column layout that groups events with their accompanying time periods. The snippet requires the Timeline Event Component(s), where users can add additional event details. Please note: Only Timeline Event Component(s) can be used within the "Timeline Item Components" portion of the Timeline Snippet. Timeline Event Component(s) cannot be used with or in addition to any other snippet.

After you've inserted a Timeline Snippet:

1. Choose a Timeline Style (formats the position of events).
   • Basic: Simple vertical timeline.
   • Centered: Vertical timeline where the events alternate in an ‘even-odd’-type order.
2. Type in the event's Time Period.
   1. Suggested usage is by month and/or year (i.e. 2019, January 2019).
3. Insert the Timeline Event Component(s). Please note: More than one Timeline Event Component can be added to a single Time Period.
   
   
   
4. Please see our resource for further instruction.
