Hi! I recently purchased a few months of Premium to work with some people to create a series of roleplaying universes. One of the features we were looking to use is the timelines feature. Although I realize the feature is still in beta, we are currently struggling with sharing and co-editing timelines.
Within the timelines tab: Although the timelines tab under Writing will display the correct number of timelines shared when viewing “All Universes,” the page only displays timelines created by that specific user.
Within the universes that are associated with the timeline: When someone who is not the creator of the timeline tries to view the timeline through a shared universe, the page either crashes or notes that the individual "does not have permission" to view the page despite the page being part of a universe that the person has access to.
Although making a timeline public can allow a contributor to view the timeline, it does not allow the contributor to edit and is not ideal for a private universe. Timelines created by a contributor who doesn't have Premium, but has access to a universe created by a Premium subscriber tend to disappear when any feature of the timeline is edited or remain inaccessible (permission not granted, crashing, etc.) to all parties involved.
Is it currently possible to share timelines with contributors in a given universe?
Many thanks for the help. Overall, Notebook has provided an excellent platform for collective worldbuilding. We look forward to seeing where the site goes moving forward, and I hope this provides some insight into the new timelines feature.
