A timeline rail is a horizontal line with evenly spaced, labelled points along it, the natural shape for a roadmap, a release schedule, a process, or any sequence of milestones. It keeps the points evenly spaced for you, so the rail always looks deliberate.
Adding one
Click Add timeline rail. It drops in with a few sample points already spaced along it.
Label each point by editing its text, and set how many points the rail has from its context menu.
Adjusting the points
Right-click the rail to open its menu and use the Points stepper to add or remove points; the rail re-spaces them evenly each time. Like every data element it is an ordinary canvas element, so it moves, resizes, groups, and recolours with the active theme.
Pair a timeline rail with sticky notes above each point to annotate what happens at each milestone.
