# Using the Projects Timeline view


## Using the Projects Timeline view
With the Timeline view, you can see tasks that have both a start and a due date laid out over time. It sits alongside the List, Board and Calendar views, in **My tasks** and on every project board, and needs no activation. A project administrator can choose which views a given project offers, so a project may show fewer than four.

## How do I use the Timeline view?

Select **Timeline** in the view switcher, in **My tasks** or on a project board.

A task appears on the timeline once it has **both** a start date and a due date. A task with only a due date does not appear, so the view stays a picture of scheduled work rather than of everything outstanding.

You can:

- View all tasks in a clear, chronological layout.
- Group tasks on the timeline by role, label, board, or other criteria.
- **Drag and drop tasks** on the timeline to adjust their dates. Changes are applied automatically.

Drag a bar sideways to move both its dates at once, or drag either end to change just the start or just the due date. The bar shows the new dates as you drag, and the change saves when you release it.
