Adding text boxes

In addition to fact boxes or pictures, text boxes are another element you can add to your timeline. Text boxes can be added to the timeline any where you want to include additional information, emphasize key points, or add a timeline key.

Text boxes differ from fact boxes because they do not contain dates and do not connect to or affect the timescale. They also do not have border or fill by default, but you can add these style changes if you want. The title of a new timeline is a text box that can be edited to include the text and styles you want for this element.
