It seems to me like the tutorials for timelines and daily schedules are not quite up-to-date. I’m a new user of Lucid, and trying to create daily schedules, but running into multiple issues: Adjusting the start and end times of a Daily Schedule template messes up the formatting of the entire schedule (doesn’t auto-adjust sizes). Cannot find “Interval” shape, even when searching in All Shapes, to allow for modifying the start/end time of an interval. Adjusting the milestone time does not accurately move the milestone marker to the correct position, or it does not save the new time entry and keeps reverting back to default. Milestone shapes are not automatically grouped, so changing the time of the milestone does not move the associated shape (i.e., the circle). The tutorials show features (e.g., toolbars) that I can’t find. Maybe there’s a SW difference? Are there already solutions to these issues that I’m not aware of?

Yes, I watched the tutorial that you linked to. And I also looked through those other timeline resources. It appears to me, though, that the only template capable of more granular planning (hours/minutes as opposed to days/weeks) is the “Daily Schedule” template, which doesn’t seem to follow the same rules as the normal timelines and isn’t very compatible with intervals and Lucid cards. If there aren’t more specific resources for the “Daily Schedule” template, I suppose my question is really just feedback-- give the daily schedule more love. It’d be nice to have a more seamless way to plan on an hourly basis to form a gantt chart of sorts. Thanks!
