How to use the timeline widget

A guide on how to use the timeline widget in your templates and Pods

Written by Bel Gernale

The timeline widget is a simple way to lay out a sequence of key moments in a pod — perfect for onboarding plans, roadmaps, rollout steps, or a clear “what happens next”.

Adding a timeline

In a text widget, type /timeline to drop a timeline into your pod.

Each point on the timeline is a milestone, and every milestone has three parts:

  • A date

  • A title

  • A description

Editing a milestone

Click a milestone’s dot to open its menu, where you can:

  • Change that milestone’s colour

  • Choose an icon (when you’re using icon markers)

  • Move it earlier or later in the sequence

  • Delete it

Timeline settings

Click the gear icon in the top-right of the timeline to open its settings, where you can:

  • Switch between vertical and horizontal layouts

  • Choose a single-sided or alternating layout

  • Pick the marker style: dot, number, or icon

  • Delete the timeline

Horizontal timelines

In horizontal mode, the timeline scrolls sideways using the arrow buttons, and you can add new milestones with the + button.

Tips

  • Keep milestone descriptions short so the timeline stays easy to scan.

  • Pair a timeline with a Mutual Action Plan when you want to show the big-picture sequence alongside detailed, assignable steps.
