Adjusting your timeline's vertical position (Timeline Add-in)

This article covers the Lucen Timeline add-in for PowerPoint on Windows. Using the browser-based app instead? See Lucen Timeline Online help.

Important Note! Want to keep your timeline looking sharp? Use the Edit Timeline window in the Lucen Timeline Add-in to move objectsdragging and dropping directly on the slide won’t do the trick. Click here to see how easy it is!

The Timeline add-in has multiple ways to help you adjust your timeline's vertical position for a more balanced slide. Moving your visual higher or lower on the slide can also make room for adding extra content to your presentation. In this video, we will show you how to adjust the vertical position of your timeline by:

  • Choosing the Upper / Middle / Lower / Custom position from the Timeline ribbon

  • Dragging & dropping the timeband in the Timeline View;

  • Selecting all timeline elements and repositioning them manually, directly in PowerPoint.

Note: Remember that manual changes made directly with PowerPoint controls must be synced with Timeline by clicking the “Accept Changes” button.
