Timeline Time Management

Start Time Slider

Global Time Shifting:

• Slider Control: Adjust the session's overall start time

• Timeline Impact: Shifting the start time moves all sections accordingly

• Example: If first section starts at 8:00 AM and you set start time to 9:00 AM, all sections shift forward by 1 hour
