Premium account holders have access to a number of features. To understand the differences between the account tiers, check out the Plans page. You can switch your plan at any time.
Collaboration
The premium plans allow you to collaborate on timelines with other people. You can also decide who can view and edit your timelines. For more on members, groups and accounts, refer to our article on how people are organized in Timetoast accounts.
Multiple members of a group can collaborate on a project and make changes to a timeline. You can also:
Share your timelines with other account members, group members or other Timetoast users not in your account
Grant permissions to other users, or make the timeline only viewable/editable by yourself
View or change permissions for each timeline at any time from the share panel
Managing users in your account
You can add and remove users and create groups in your account. See our article on how to manage users and groups.
Members of a group can work together on a timeline or just let other group members view the group timelines. See the 'Giving others access to your projects' section below for more detailed instructions.
Account-level privacy
By default, timelines can be seen and edited by all your account members. Premium account holders can make timeline projects only editable by themselves, which will hide them from their other account members in the process.
If there are account-level privacy settings on a timeline, you will see a lock next to the timeline title.
If you add account members in the future, your existing projects will be editable by them. If you don't want that, just switch those projects to only be editable by yourself before adding them.
Note, only premium plan account holders can change account-level privacy.
Giving others access to your projects
You can share access to your projects in a number of ways:
With your other account members:
Just select "Account members" under the "Editable by" section of your timeline project and your other account members will be able to see and edit it.
With another user not in your account:
From your timeline edit page, click the "share" link in the timeline menu.
Click "Share with a user" and enter their Timetoast username.
With members of a group:
Create a group, or be invited to one.
From your timeline edit page, tap or click the triple dot icon, then select "share".
Tap or click "Share with a group".
Choose the group you would like to share with as well as the level of access you wish to grant. You can allow members in a group to: view only; view and edit; or view, edit and delete the timeline.
Press 'Grant access'.
Previously granted permissions can be revoked from the "share" panel too. Just click the "See current permissions" link and revoke the permission you want to remove.
Note: You can also make a timeline publicly viewable by publishing it. You can use the share button to then retrieve the public link.
Embedding timelines
Your timeline needs to be published to be embeddable on another site.
When viewing or editing your timeline:
Tap or click the triple dot icon in your timeline header.
Tap or click the "Share" option.
Tap or click the "Embed" tab to display the embed code options. We support standard Iframe embedding and oEmbed.
To customize the embed code tap or click "Customize your code" when viewing the embed tab.
We don't enforce a limit on the number of embedded views you can have.
Customizing timeline colors
Our Pro plan allows you to customize the color scheme of timelines when embedded on another web page.
You can change your color scheme by tapping or clicking the "Customize your code" button when embedding and then tapping or clicking the color scheme.
Comment moderation
For greater control over your timelines, you can also moderate the comments on your timelines. View the comments written on each timeline and choose whether to hide/show each of the comments.
From the timeline dashboard, tap or click the triple dot icon of the timeline you wish to moderate and select ‘Moderate’. This will display all the comments on the timeline.
You can select the comments you would like to hide or show by checking the comment and selecting ‘show selected’ or ‘hide selected’.
