The initial graphic generated by PowerPoint will have placeholder text and only 3 milestones. You can insert your own data directly on the graphic by typing inside the [Text] boxes on the slide, but adding new milestones or events besides the 3 default ones can become a little tricky this way. That’s why I’d recommend using the Text Pane instead, as it’s faster and it allows you to easily insert extra milestones on your timeline. Here’s how it works:
Once created, the timeline can be easily styled further or updated automatically using Office Timeline. For example, you can instantly change colors, shapes and positions, switch the time scale from months to quarters, add tasks to create a Gantt chart, or adjust dates on the fly as your plans change.

Microsoft PowerPoint enables users to create a basic timeline that they can manually adjust and restyle to fit their needs. The result is a simple graphic fit for presentations to clients or executives, but not quite flexible enough for those who need to show more accurate details or update the timeline regularly.
Note: As you will notice, PowerPoint places your milestones equidistant on the timeline, regardless of the relative distance between their dates. This is because the tool “reads” the information you enter as simple text, so it isn’t able to automatically calculate the number of days between two milestones. You can manually drag your milestone shapes and descriptions closer to or farther from each other, but as you add more items on the timeline, the layout will get distorted, so I’d recommend leaving them as they are.
