Hi everyone! Iā€™m happy to announce that Sections are now officially available on Timeline. We recently [launched Timeline](https://blog.asana.com/2018/03/new-asana-timeline-view/), a beautiful, living view of how all the pieces of your project fit together. Since then, weā€™ve made improvements to ensure itā€™s the best place to plan and manage your projects. Sections from list view in Asana will now automatically appear on your Timeline, so you can map out your project plan with additional categorization, share a plan with more visual indicators, and quickly adapt your plan by knowing how your tasks are grouped. We have also added the ability to sort by date so you can view and manage your tasks by due or start dates. You can learn more about these updates in this handy guide [article](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/timeline#gl-sections). Note that weā€™re still in the process of rolling out this feature, so if you donā€™t have access to it yet, donā€™t worry you will have very soon. And as always, feel free to add your comments/feedback int he comments below this post šŸ™‚ Happy Wednesday! ---

This is an awesome update! Really adds a ton of context here! 2 questions arise though looking at our more involved clients though. For one, prior completed tasked make the section incredibly tall and itā€™s quite jarring, especially when we only have 1-2 active tasks in a given section: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/b/9/b92ee3fb34e08a8bd205e8f93100e6d13ce6ad8d.png) Is there any way to essentially ā€œhide completed tasksā€ within the timeline? This is our teamā€™s largest complaint at the moment. Or even better, if it would automatically adapt the vertical height depending on how many tasks are shown on screen at that given time, that would be awesome! Though it could be jarring if it was actively recalculating the height when going back and forward throughout the timeline. And the second aspect is that in many of our projects, we use the custom field of ā€œPhaseā€ in a sense for ā€œsectionsā€ because it allows for a bit more flexibility in our more structured projects. So our ā€œsectionsā€ are actually the ā€œphaseā€ custom field dropdown: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/2/a/2a0130dd5296c0d49c5d80312b169ed3b0593322.png) The thing is, when going to Timeline, thereā€™s no way to get this awesome ā€œsectionsā€ view with these custom field ā€œsectionsā€. This is all we can see: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/c/5/c5c6fe0dcd25c3c7b3c27847deea0624c5d50c52.png) This is **such** a massive step forward for timeline, if the two items above can be remedied in some way, our team will be using timelines **far more** than just viewing it as a gantt chart. Keep up the good work! ---

Hi @abass and thank you so much for your warm feedback! šŸ˜Š Unfortunately, it is not possible yet to filter your Timeline by tasks completion or custom fields, but this is definitely something on our radar. In the meantime, I would suggest to add your vote to [Sorting / Filter options in timeline](https://forum.asana.com/t/sorting-filter-options-in-timeline/27746). ---

Iā€™ve been using Timeline since it was released, to manage complexity across projects and annual planning frameworks. Was always wishing for Section Breaks to be included in the viewā€¦so great to see this now incorporated. Great job Team Asana and loving it! ---

Is there any way to turn this feature off? While I appreciate why people want it, in our companyā€™s case, it was better to see the list view by sections and then we sorted the timeline view by person. This particular update really puts a kink into how we schedule our tasks. -Beth ---

PS. also love the ability to hide unscheduled tasks, which allows better use of the Timeline real estate. ---

Hi @Roman_Lysenko, and welcome to the Forum! Could you confirm youā€™re working on a List Project? Unfortunately, sections on Timeline are not yet available with Board Projects [Timeline View in Asana | Product Help Center ā€¢ Asana Product Guide](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/timeline#gl-sort-by-assignee) Also, is your Timeline sorted by Due Date or Assignee? Note that Sections arenā€™t available when your timeline with that scenario ![28](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/0/b/0b26cc46276c108aed3a836851017e40317f6fa9.png) Looking forward to your reply! ---

I see now) I work in Board Project. Sorting works well, but it`s not enough for our Team Project, it has a lot subtasks for different members, and separation on sections would be great solution. Thanks for yor answer @Marie ---
