Windows 10 'Timeline' is coming to Fast ring Insiders in the next build
"Timeline" is officially coming to Insiders in the next Windows 10 Fast ring
build!
Microsoft today announced that Windows Insiders can expect one of Windows 10
Redstone 4's blockbuster features, known as Timeline, to show up in the next
insider Preview build for the Fast ring. Announced earlier this year,
Timeline was initially scheduled for release with the Fall Creators Update
but was pushed back to Redstone 4 due to time constraints.
Timeline gives users the ability to jump back in time and continue
experiences that were first started on other devices. It's a "glorified
recent apps screen," showcasing your recently used apps and files across
devices, allowing you to jump right back in and continue where you left off.
The feature sits comfortably in the Task View area, so it's instantly
accessible via the Taskbar.
From Microsoft:
Earlier this year at Build, we showed you Timeline, which allows you to jump
back in time, making it easier to find the files you're looking for. A visual
timeline is integrated directly into Task View so you can easily move back
into files, apps, and sites as if you never left.
Of course, Timeline is still in development and will continue to improve and
change throughout Redstone 4's development. This week's Insider build will be
the first that includes Timeline for the public, and feedback about this
feature will be incredibly important for Microsoft. Timeline should work well
with the newly-announced "Sets" feature, which allows users to group related
apps and websites under one tabbed window.
Insiders can expect to see more features, such as "Cloud Clipboard," an
improved Windows Shell with Fluent Design and more, to show up in the coming
year. For now, however, Timeline is the latest big feature available for
testing and is going to be one of Redstone 4's most significant new features.
