Events are the building blocks of your timeline, and eras are how you group them! Here's how to quickly create events and eras:
To edit a timeline, you need to be in edit mode. Click the Edit button in the toolbar to get started.
How to create an event
- Click the plus button in the toolbar.
- Fill out the text fields: the title and the start year are mandatory, while you can leave out the end year for events that last less than a year.
- Click the Create button, and the event will appear in the timeline canvas!
How to create an era
- Click on the little tab on the plus button in the toolbar. This will open a secondary toolbar.
- Click the hourglass button.
- Fill out the pop-ups fields (all are mandatory) and click the Create button!
There are two special era types (both unique):
- Starting era: This is the first era of your world and, therefore, doesn't have a start year. To create it, use the button instead.
- Current era: This is the most modern era of your world, so it doesn't have an end year. To create it, use the button.
