But you might not know these additional tips and tricks that the Collaboration Features offer.

Wish you could create tailored timelines for specific vendors, venues, clients, or even bridal party members? The great news is that with Timeline Genius you can!
So you can go from spending hours creating individual timelines for collaborators or clients (nobody has time for that!) to using the Assign Feature to easily produce tailored timelines.
Additionally, whenever you make edits, your timelines update in real-time. So, if you make an adjustment to your main timeline, it will similarly reflect any changes in all of your tailored timelines.
As a result, you can make individualized timelines for anyone you wish!
Just check out the way the Assign Feature supports timeline creation and how you can use it in your planning.
