Learn how to create interactive and engaging Timeline Collections with Timepath. Discover the simple steps to organize your articles into beautiful timelines, use our automatic import tool, and publish them effortlessly on your website.
A Timeline Collection is a feature provided by Timepath that allows publishers and journalists to create interactive, chronological timelines from a collection of articles about a specific topic. These collections enhance storytelling by visually organizing articles in a timeline format, making it easier for readers to follow the progression of events and understand complex topics.
Creating a Timeline Collection with Timepath is straightforward. Simply copy and paste the link to your article into the Timepath interface, and our system will automatically generate a beautiful event in your timeline collection. The system extracts key elements such as dates, titles, body texts, and images from the article, organizing them into a visually appealing and interactive timeline.
Timepath also offers an automatic import tool that can bulk import articles based on certain criteria such as topic, tag, or target link. This tool simplifies the process of creating comprehensive timeline collections by gathering all relevant articles for you. Just set your desired parameters, and Timepath will handle the rest, pulling in articles that fit your specified criteria and adding them to your timeline collection.
A Timeline Collection can include both video articles and normal text articles. This versatility allows you to create rich, engaging timelines that cater to different types of content, enhancing the storytelling experience for your readers. Whether it's a breaking news video or an in-depth written analysis, all types of articles can be seamlessly integrated into your timeline collection.
Once your timeline collection is ready, publishing it on your website is as simple as copying and pasting an iframe code into your Content Management System (CMS). Timepath provides the necessary embed code that you can easily insert into your website's HTML. This embed code will display the interactive timeline collection directly on your site, allowing your readers to enjoy the enhanced storytelling experience.
