Intro to Timeline view

Timeline views in Notion help display projects chronologically.

You can create a timeline view from scratch, or add one to an already existing database.

To save time, consider starting with a template. Find one in our template picker, or directly from the Notion Template Gallery.

Since timeline views display entries according to their dates, they require at least one date property in the database.

Just like for any Notion database, you can adjust a timeline’s layout from its menu. You may also decide to group entries according to one of their properties.

Try adding sub-items to your timeline, allowing for more detailed project breakdowns.

Add dependencies to connect database entries, visually representing how different projects or project phases depend on each other.

Notion timelines are way more than a Gantt chart. They give you complete flexibility to scope projects, adjust their dates, customize your workflow, and actually get work done inside their pages.
