I really appreciate the basic function of the timeline template, but there are a few key elements that are missing that would increase its functionality.

To start, when adding dates, there is no way to search by date. Rather, you can only see the dates per month. It also does not specify the year. If I am trying to add a date that is older than a few months, I have to manually click back to the correct year and month, and it becomes very difficult to keep track of the year I am in as it is not indicated anywhere until you select your date. 

When you are viewing the timeline in canvas view (not focus mode), there is no way to scroll across the timeline so it ends up taking up a lot of space on the board and visually is difficult to understand since all the information is presented at once. 

I also think there needs to be a more straightforward way of adding groups to your timeline. It is easy to add records. Perhaps this function could look more similar to swim lanes on the Kanban templates?
