# Timeline

The Timeline view allows you to view your entries on chronological line. To switch to the Timeline view, use the View menu's View mode item or use the toolbar item for View mode. MacJournal will use whatever journal is currently selected initially and show those entries. To change what is shown, either select a different journal in the Sidebar or use the pop-up at the bottom to select a journal. When you select a different journal in the pop-up, you can keep the timeline the same when selecting other journals or entries in the sidebar.

Selecting an entry in the timeline is just like selecting it in the Sidebar. You can use the Inspector to look at the metadata for an entry by selecting it there. If you want to view the contents of the entry, either switch the View mode back or double-click the entry to open a new window for it.

To change the scale of the timeline, use the slider at the bottom. MacJournal displays the scale of the lines under the timeline at the bottom.
