Sharing your TimeLine

Users can either share their TimeLine using a link or embed code that TimeLineJS generates once a URL is inputted.

To share using a link, copy the link under “Share Link” and paste it wherever intended. Some options include emailing the link to others, inputting it into a preexisting website, and much more.

To share using an embed code, copy the embed code under “Embed” and input it into a site you have previously created or anything of the sort.
