# Timeline tree

Story makes it simple to build a visually stunning timeline tree. Tell your shoppers about your key product dates and events. Add timeline blocks to build the tree.

### Create a heading

Combine the **Timeline tree** section with a **Rich Text** section to build a custom heading:

### Timeline events

Customize the timeline blocks for each event. Options include:

* Event heading
* Optional thumbnail image. A timeline dot will be used if no image is selected.
* Date or subheading
* Event details, rich text information&#x20;
* Link options if needed

Configure the section settings to customize the style and layout of the entire timeline:

Changing the Width from **Page width narrow** to **Page width** will align the timeline to the left providing more room for details:

### Mobile

The timeline tree is scrollable on mobile devices and uses the entire width to display the tree:

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://story.groupthought.com/sections/story-sections/timeline-tree.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
