To maintain accurate event timelines, Timeline Genius has built-in validation that prevents you from saving an invalid date range. Here’s how it works:

When setting a date range for your event, the end date must always be after the start date. If you attempt to save a date range where the end date is on or before the start date, the system will prevent you from doing so and display an error message.

If you enter an invalid date range, you will see the following error message, styled like our standard red error messages:

"Please enter an end date that is after the start date."

This message will appear immediately, prompting you to correct the date range before proceeding.

This validation helps prevent scheduling errors and ensures your timeline reflects the correct sequence of events, which is crucial for effective event planning.
