# Browse log entries on a timeline

You can skip around logs from different time periods using the timeline.

##

In the Records and Details view arrangements, part of the timeline is hidden by default. You can view the full timeline by dragging its upper edge.

Depending on your selection, the timeline allows you to browse freely (the Automatic option) or stops when the first or last entry within the specified time range is reached.

When you are browsing within a set time range, you cannot accidentally browse out of the time range set in the Query pane. Square brackets are shown at each end to show the limits of the range.

## Steps

Drag the arrowhead to browse.

- The arrow also indicates the selected start position (from the beginning or the end of the time range).
- The chart plots the number of matching entries over time.
