Adding precise dates ensures Timepath can visually display the correct spacing between events.

Step 3 – Open the templates menu

Inside the timeline editor, click on Templates. Templates give you a ready-made layout designed for specific types of projects, saving you time and improving the design quality.

Step 4 – Select the “History” template

Choose the History template for an optimized layout that:

This is ideal for educational timelines such as prehistoric history, ancient civilizations, or modern history topics.
