# Customizing Timeline appearance

By default, the Timeline appears at the top of the application window in Edit view, above the currently selected slide. You can, however, customize how the Timeline is displayed in many ways, including the following:

- Dock the Timeline to the top or bottom of the main application window.

- Display the Timeline in its own window.

- Hide the Timeline.

- Change the height of the Timeline to increase or decrease the amount of space the Timeline requires.

- Zoom in or zoom out on the Timeline.

Note: Captivate remembers the position of the Timeline (location and size), so if the Timeline is displayed when Captivate closes, the Timeline appears in the same location the next time Captivate is opened.

#### To dock the Timeline:

1. Click the four vertical dots to the left of the Timeline display arrow (example) until a four-pointed arrow appears.

2. Drag the Timeline to the edge of the application window to dock it.

#### To display the Timeline in a new window:

1. Click the four vertical dots to the left of the Timeline display arrow (example) until a four-pointed arrow appears.

2. Drag the Timeline slightly to the left.

3. Release the mouse.

The Timeline should display in a new window above the main Captivate application window.

#### To resize the Timeline:

- If the Timeline is docked to the main application window, drag the bar separating the Timeline from the application window. If the Timeline is not docked to the main application window, drag the lower right corner.
