Animation in Timeline - Weird Triangle with Yellow Square
Hi Heather,
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue with the timeline. I'm happy to help troubleshoot! When you insert something on your slide, it will also appear on the timeline. You should still be able to change the timing and duration of an object on the timeline as you described above.
- First, add an animation to the text box.
- To control when an object animates in, drag it left or right along the timeline.
- To change the duration of an object, drag its right edge along the timeline. This controls when the object disappears (or animates out).
Here's a quick recording I did to test this out. Are you able to adjust the text box on your timeline? If possible, can you elaborate bit more on when you would like the text box to fade in?
I hope this helps! You're welcome to share your file with us privately in a support case as well! We will delete it from our systems once troubleshooting is complete.

Hello! Thanks for the response. I know the basics of animations and all that; it's just the weird animation timing block before the actual element (if that makes sense). I guess SL is trying to show you when the animation starts and when the element is actually visible on the slide?
