# 🎥 Create your first Timeline events

## Adding Timeline events is easy - all you have to do is to click the '+' button in the middle of the screen. Watch this video to see how, or read below.

💡 You can also create events  by uploading documentation directly. [Read more here.](https://help.juristic.io/import-documents-to-create-automatic-timelines?hsLang=en)

### **Adding Your First Event**

You can create events in Juristic Timeline in just a few steps:

1. Click **Add Event** (the big plus button)
2. Enter a **title** – this is the only required field
3. Add optional details to make the event more useful:
   
     - **Date and time** (e.g. 10:00 AM meeting) -If no date is set, the event will appear at the top of the timeline as “unscheduled” until you update it
     - **Description** to capture the context (e.g. *“Client was satisfied and provided documentation”*)
     - **Internal notes**, which remain private and won’t appear on the shared timeline or in exports unless you choose
     - **People** such as colleagues or clients – Juristic recognises these as linked entities, not just plain text

### **Managing and Editing Events**

💡 Tag people early so you can filter or search for events when needed.

Once an event is added, you can manage it directly from the timeline view:

- **Edit details at any time** by opening the event card - or quick-edit by clicking the title or the description of an event card.
- **Switch views** if you want to see your events differently (for example, a broader overview versus detailed entries)
- **Track unscheduled events**, which remain clearly flagged in the beginning of the timeline until you assign them a date
