Instructions for embedding and setting up the timeline component.
Click edit on a page. Scroll down to ‘page content’, then click ‘add component’. Then select the ‘Timelines’ component.
Start with a title for the timeline (eg Treaty timeline). This displays as a Heading 2.
Then add a title (heading) for each time period.
You then have the following options:
A specific date range such as 20 March 1990 to 30 September 1990
OR
use the Text field for less specific dates such as March 1990.A link if there's more detail on another webpage.
Feature image if you have one.
Summary: if you want to provide a short or long amount of detail. This includes a WYSIWYG section where you can include formatting like links, bullet points and styling.
Images: If you want to add an image or block of colour in the circles, use a square image 88px x 88px and it will be cropped to a circle for display. These must be added as media items. Use a meaningful item name in the media library, such as 'Timeline swatch pink'.
