Step-by-step guide

Storylines and change timelines

A storyline links posts about one developing event and shows a short “what changed” delta instead of repeating the whole story.

Before you start

  • Open a post connected to the event you care about.

Steps

  1. Choose Follow storyline.
  2. Select branches if needed.
  3. Open Storylines to inspect the timeline.
  4. Stop following when the topic is done.

Expected result

New related posts extend the timeline and highlight the change.

Important limitations

  • Automatic grouping can miss a relation or merge similar events.

If it did not work

  • If an update is off-topic, react to it and select a narrower branch.
