# Using Timelines

Timelines display all the notes in a container which have a `$StartDate`. If a note has both a `$StartDate` and an `$EndDate`, both the start and end of the note are drawn.

Dragging notes in the timeline will change their `$StartDate`, their `$EndDate`, or both.

Timeline notes are arranged in vertical bands, according to `$TimelineBand`. Drag notes to a new band to change `$TimelineBand`.

Links among notes visible in the timeline are drawn in the timeline; other links are ignored.

Timeline view is currently subject to frequent updates.
