Edit the text, pick a theme, export Word / PowerPoint / PDF
When to use it
Company profile slides, the "About us" page, the team and history slide of a pitch deck and anniversary material. Each year can hold several events separated by colons; they stack vertically under the year.
Making it yours
- One line per point in time:
year : event one : event two, with any number of events. - Granularity can be years, quarters or months, written as
2024 Q3or2024-06. - To group years into phases (start-up, growth, expansion) use
section Phase name; the "Project milestones timeline" template shows how. - Avoid colons inside event text; the colon is the separator.

FAQ
- How are the colours assigned?
Each point in time (or each section) takes the next colour in the theme's section palette; the four designed themes each have their own set. Individual colours cannot be set.
- Can the timeline be vertical?
Mermaid timelines are horizontal only. With many years the diagram gets wide; export SVG or a 3x PNG and scale it in the slide, or split it into two diagrams.
- The event text is too long
A point in time can hold several events, so split a long sentence into two, or insert
<br/>for a line break.
