Eric is gifted in transferring information. He describes the options, introduces the tool, and shows the finished product BEFORE the how-to information; his process is time-tested. Nice work.

This is amazing. I'm not a teacher any longer, but I find myself needing it for personal reasons and a refresher was super helpful.

Timeline creation doesn't seem available in my standard Google Workspace edition...
Thank you for sharing your template then, cause I'll be using it :)

Thank you so much! This was amazing for me and my students!!

This is great! I used it to create an initial timeline. But I wanted to create another one but was unable to because the second timeline (using your template) was still linked to the first Events page. How do I disable the link?

Great video! I'm looking to create a timeline without using specific dates, but instead using "Week 1, Week 2, etc." Is there a way to do this?

Is there any way of having multiple entries in the same row on the timeline itself? Rather than each entry becoming an extra step downward? I’d like to keep it more compact vertically

So glad to see this. However I would like to set up a timeline with geological timescales.
How can this be done? How does one enter 540 000 000, or 6 000 000 or 4 billion years ago?

Well done again! Had gathered resources to make a tutorial myself but the feature didn't roll out here yet.
But to be honest, i couldn't have done it as well as this. I'm giving you a link and show mention on our next geg be/nl livestream.
Good luck with the weekly in a few hours. Will be sleeping but looking forward to watching the recording tomorrow

Dear Eric Sir,

After downloading your Timeline Template can I get it to remind me about the upcoming events? Also, can I add recurring events to the timeline? E.g. I add a timeline for AC Annual Maintenance Contract but I want it to remind me about calling the vendor at say the regular interval of every quarter. Can a timeline contain such event additions and reminders thereto?

Thanks
Rohit

I don't see the timeline tab in my google sheet. Do you know where this is coming from? Maybe it's a new feature only in the us?

How do you add the emoji's and have them show on the timeline itself?
