Hi, how can I activate the time slider in Kibana 8.14.1? I didn't find a setting for it in Advanced Settings, although the time slider is available when im editing the map.  
Thanks.

Hi @Alex_Salgado-Elastic  
I have map visualization and other type of visualization, all effected by the time column.  
I would like to add a time slider to the dashboard.

Normally, the time slider automatically adjusts its granularity based on the time range you select in the **time picker** at the top-right corner of the Kibana interface.

To focus on minutes, set the global time filter to a shorter range (e.g., a few hours). This will prompt the time slider to offer finer control, down to minutes
