Timely’s New Timeline & List Experience is here, bringing a sleeker, more intuitive way to track your time! But hold up—this shiny new update isn’t everywhere just yet.
We’re rolling it out slowly and carefully to select workspaces (and by request) as it moves out of beta. Even if it’s available in your workspace, the new experience is completely optional—you can switch between New and Classic anytime. There are no current plans to deprecate the Classic experience, so you can stick with what works best for you!
So, how do you know if you’re using the New Timeline & List View experience or still on the Classic version? No worries—this guide will help you spot the difference and find the right resources! 🚀
🔍 What’s Different in the New Timeline & List View Experience?
The New Timeline & List View Experience brings a more modern, user-friendly interface with enhanced visibility and organization of your tracked time. Here’s what you can expect:
✅ A refreshed look – A sleeker, more intuitive design for easier navigation
✅ Improved time tracking – A clearer, more structured way to manage your logged time
✅ More control – Faster editing, fine-tuned granular control, better organization options, and a streamlined workflow
🕒 You’ll find both versions in the Hours section of Timely, where you log time against projects and tasks.

🆕 New Timeline & List View Experience vs. Classic Experience
New Timeline & List Experience
If you signed up for Timely after March 2025, participated in the New Timeline & List beta in 2024/2025, or requested early access, you’re likely seeing the updated timeline experience above, or the new list view experience below.
• Both views feature a modern, streamlined layout
• Timeline and List views are better visually structured
• Includes new customization options to isolate specific activity into their columns, control memory granularity, and new enhanced AI Timesheet Assistant capabilities.
From the Hours Dashboard, if your "Options" drop down appears as above, you are currently using the New Timeline or List view experience.
Classic Experience
If you joined Timely before March 2025, haven’t opted into the New Timeline & List View beta, or are part of a larger enterprise workspace, you’re likely still using the Classic Timeline & List View shown above.
• Uses the original interface with a familiar layout
• Fewer customization options compared to the new experience
• Still available for users who haven’t switched over yet or who would prefer to continue to use the older style interface
From the Hours Dashboard, if your options menu appears as a small gear icon in the top-right corner, you’re using the Classic Experience. You may also see a “Try the new Timeline!” button nearby—feel free to click it to explore the New Experience!
