đź’ˇ We've recently introduced a new way to build timelines. Learn more about our new beta Timeline feature.
Quickly visualize a timeline and keep your work organized with the Timeline Builder. To remove the hassle of manually creating a timeline, play with a few settings, like timeframe and interval, and let the builder do the creation work.
Install the Timeline Builder
To install the app for your team, go to Miro Marketplace and click Get app. Then select a team for which you’d like to install the builder.Â
Or install the builder from within a Miro board. Click the arrows icon on the toolbar, type in the app name in the search bar, and click Add.
⚠️ Non-admin users can't install apps if it's not allowed by Admins in the Apps & Integrations settings.

Date settings

Add data to your timeline
As soon as the timeline is created, you can start adding information with sticky notes, cards (including Jira Cards, Asana Cards, etc.), shapes, or by simply inserting text. Drop any object, including images, on the timeline to map out the events and tasks.
