Add a code block and place it in the center of your section. Add the following code to a code block to add the vertical line to the center of your timeline:

<div class="vertical-line"></div>

<style>

.vertical-line {

background: #fff;

width: 2px;

height: 1000px;

margin: 0 auto;

}

</style>

This line will be the spine of your timeline. To add the shoots of your timeline, aka the lines that come off it, add a line block and drag it into place.

Duplicate this line for all of your timeline items and drag the lines into their position on the timeline.

Next you want to add your text blocks. Add a text block for each element on your timeline and add the text that you want to appear on the page. Again, drag and drop these blocks to line up with each line coming from the central spine.

You can play around with formatting the text to look how you want it, and you can add other elements to each timeline section, such as buttons. To do this simply add a button block and drag it to where you want it on the page.
