User Timeline
Your User Timeline contains a list of events that have taken place within Frog that are related to you.
Managing Items on a Timeline
The User timeline contains a list of events that have taken place within Frog that are related to you. The User timeline can include entries such as:
- Files uploaded to the timeline by you
- Files sent to you by other users
- Assignments sent to you
- Site shared with you by other users
- Notifications sent to you
- Calendar events you have been invited to.
You can access your timeline by either choosing the Frog icon on the top left of your Frog bar, or toggling to the correct dashboard using the toggle function with white dots.

Parents will be able to see their child’s learning shared on their own timeline. You can find your own timeline by selecting through the Dashboard selector from the bottom of the dashboards page.

You can comment on an item in the timeline by typing in the Add comment… box and selecting Post.
The comment will always appear in your own timeline, however if the owner of the Frog site has chosen to do so, it may require approval before it is shown to others.
