Timeline modal

The timeline modal is the main view. It answers one question: where has this card been, and for how long?

Card Timeline+ modal — summary, workflow path, and movement history

The modal opens with Card Timeline+ for Trello® at the top. Below that, the current card name appears in a bar with view controls on the right.

Summary

Four quick facts in a 2×2 grid:

TileShows
Current stageThe list the card is in now, with a Current badge
Time in stageHow long in the current list (e.g. 40m, 2d)
Movement countTotal list moves (e.g. 4 moves)
TrackingWhen history started and whether it is complete

A note below the grid explains when tracking began — for example, Tracking started after installation.

Workflow path

A horizontal view of the card's route through lists.

  • Each stage shows list names and move count between them.
  • In Compact view, the path uses a shorter Compact path layout.
  • Scroll sideways when the path is long.

Timeline

A chronological log of every list move since tracking started.

  • Sort Newest first or Oldest first.
  • Each event shows the time, Timeline event, and list pills (from listto list).
  • The destination list is highlighted in blue.

View controls

Export

At the bottom, Export with Board Export+ sends this card's timeline to Board Export+ as PDF, CSV, Excel, or JSON. The card needs at least one tracked move.
