# Release Notes: May 2021

Experiment Planning Status, Timeline View, Document Revision History and more

# Experiment Planning

We've introduced a new 'Planning' status to distinguish between experiments that are in the planning phase to those that have been started. You can set expected start and completion dates.

As soon as a protocol within the experiment is started it will move to 'In progress' and the actual start-date will be set automatically. You can also change the status and start date manually.

# Timeline View

Plan out your projects by visualising your experiments on a timeline.

Filter by collection, assignee and status to keep your view uncluttered.
