Is it possible to only view events which have been pinned (marked as persisted with the timeline)?

We appreciate your feedback Travis, and agree that providing a toggle or view in the Timeline to only show pinned events would be especially useful when (only) the pinned events are necessary to tell the story, and when pinned events span multiple pages of search results.

We created the following Github issue to track this feature request: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/49288](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/49288)

As a workaround, after pinning events, consider narrowing the Timeline's search criteria to only / mostly include pinned events, via one or more of the following techniques:

- Add additional filters. For example, expand the pinned events, and drag / drop the (pinned) event `_id` values
- Narrow the search via KQL using the event `_id` s, or any criteria that only matches the pinned events
- Narrow the date range
