+Trac events are listed in chronological order, comprised of a brief description of each event and, if applicable, the person responsible for the change.
 
 The timeline lists these kinds of events:
- * '''Wiki page events''' -- Creation and changes
- * '''Ticket events''' -- Creation and resolution/closing (and optionally other changes)
- * '''Source code changes ''' -- Repository check-ins
- * '''Milestone ''' -- Milestone completed
+ * '''Wiki page events''' — Pages created and edited
+ * '''Ticket events''' — Tickets open and closed, and optionally ticket updates
+ * '''Source code changes ''' — Repository check-ins
+ * '''Milestone events''' — Milestones completed
 
-Each event entry provides a hyperlink to the specific event in question, as well as
-a brief excerpt of the actual comment or text, if available.
+Each event entry provides a hyperlink to the event, the author of the change, as well as a brief excerpt of the actual comment or text, if available. Plugins may provide additional events for the timeline.
 
-See [wiki:TracIni#timeline TracIni] for timeline configuration options.
+The displayed events can be filtered using the filters in the preferences panel:
+ * ''View changes from'' — the date from which to start displaying events (current date if empty). Events that occurred after this date will not be shown, only those that occurred before the date.
+ * ''and X days back'' — how many days backwards in time to get events.
+ * ''done by'' — the author of an event. It accepts a space-separated list of authors for which events should be included. Alternatively, if the author names are prefixed by a `-` character, then the events having those authors will be excluded, and all the others included. Single or double quotes can be used for specifying author names containing space characters.
+ * ''Changesets in all repositories'' — if you have more than one repository connected to your Trac project, you can also filter events from specific repositories.
+ * ''Milestones completed'' — display or hide milestones reached.
+ * ''Tickets opened and closed'' — display or hide ticket open or close events.
+ * ''Ticket updates'' - display or hide ticket update events (if enabled by [TracIni#timeline-ticket_show_details-option "[timeline] ticket_show_details"]).
+ * ''Wiki changes'' — display or hide Wiki change events.
+
+See !TracIni's [wiki:TracIni#timeline-section "[timeline] section"] for timeline configuration options. Plugins may provide additional filters for the timeline.
