Getting Started with Timelines in Under 5 Minutes
Watch this short video tutorial to learn how to create a Timeline in SmartDraw.
Select a Timeline template from the Timelines category.
SmartDraw's simple timeline templates let you quickly add events along a horizontal line that represents any time period you define.
Double-click on any shape in the template to add text.
Use lines and arrows to pinpoint special events and details.
To add a new event to the template, select an event symbol from the SmartPanel and drag and drop it to your timeline.
Adding Style
Change the look of your entire timeline with the help of professionally-designed Themes. You can change the theme in a single click under the Themes menu in the Home tab.
Or change the look of individual shapes instantly by selecting a new Quick Style under Styles. Choose from more than 40 preset looks.
You can also create your own style using the options under Fill and Effects.
Add Picture
You can replace the text inside any shape on your timeline with a photo or image. Add logos, screenshots, or photographs to create a bigger visual impact.
Select the shape you want to turn into an image and click the Add Picture command on the SmartPanel. Browse and select the image you want to add.
