Hello,

I am gradually getting deep into Kibana, timelion charts. One of my frustrating things is the editor, are there some tips/cheatsheets available for the timeline editor. The documentation has all these indents and stuff, but I am unable to do that when I try it out.

Would love some feedback from the community.

Thanks,  
G

Hi @gthang

There is a good introduction to Timelion available in the [blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/timelion-tutorial-from-zero-to-hero)

Maybe it will help.

Regards, Dzmitry

Hello @Dzmitry thank you for your response.

I do get Timelion, I just have a tough time editing/composing my query to render a chart. If you have any tips on that, that would be great.
