FAQs

Common questions about Custom Templates

How do templates differ from themes?

While themes control the visual style of your timeline, templates preserve the structural elements – swimlane arrangements, milestone patterns, timeline phases, and task relationships. Templates help you start with the right project structure; themes make it look great.

Can I combine templates with custom themes?

Definitely! Apply your favorite theme to any template to get the perfect combination of efficient structure and professional styling. Your timeline gets an instant head start in both organization and appearance.

What elements do templates preserve?

Templates maintain your timeline's backbone – swimlane layout, milestone placement patterns, typical project phases, common task groupings, and standard dependency relationships. They provide the structural foundation for your project timeline.

How detailed should my templates be?

Create templates with the level of detail that serves you best. Some teams prefer basic frameworks they can easily adapt, while others save comprehensive structures with pre-built task relationships and standard durations.
