Appearance Settings - Legend

When events are added to a timeline they have a color assigned to it. You can keep the default color or modify it to something that has additional meaning. For example, if you have a project timeline, you may want to make anything event that is completed one color while events that are at risk of delay or have other issued can have a different color like yellow or red. 

To help viewers understand the significance of each color used for your events, you can add a legend to your timeline.
