Waiting for Timeline in Windows 10? Fast Ring users in the Insider Program can now try it out

Windows Timeline is one of the most anticipated features of Windows 10. We can't wait to see it arrive with the Fall Creators Update and everything seems to indicate that we will have to wait for Redstone 4 to see how it becomes official A wait that users signed up to the Insider Program can mitigate.

And if you are within the Fast Ring of said program, you can already try a previous version of Windows TimeLine Microsoft has launched a test that allows insiders signed up to this ring to start testing the advantages of Windows Timeline.Improvements coming with Build 17063 for PC.

For those who don't know Windows Timeline works as a timeline through which we can scroll to see the applications that we have been using over time and in this way make it more comfortable to resume an activity that we carried out at a certain time.

In addition to facilitating productivity on the go, Windows Timeline is compatible with the use of other devices, that is, If we are using the mobile version of the Microsoft operating system we can access Windows Timeline the same as if we were on the PC and vice versa.

In this version we will have the possibility to see and resume web browsing activities in Microsoft Edge, the files that we have opened in applications such as Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, and the versions Updated UWP Maps, News, Money, Sports and Weather.

On the other hand Cortana integrates with Timeline so it will now suggest activities you might want to resume to help you stay productive when switching between your phone, PC, and other Cortana-enabled devices. This experience is based on the same activities that appear on the timeline.

Microsoft Edge improvements

Microsoft Edge now supports an updated dark theme, with darker blacks and much better contrast with all colors, text, and icons. This fixes many accessibility contrast issues, making the Microsoft Edge user interface easier to use and more visually pleasing.

In addition, Microsoft Edge now supports Reveal on our navigation buttons, action buttons, tab bar buttons, as well as on lists in Microsoft Edge (like in the HUB: Favorites, Reading , History, Downloads), navigating Edge UI even easier.We've listened to your feedback and Acrylic has also been updated in the tab bar and active tabs, allowing more colors to be displayed.

In addition, the way to proceed when adding and controlling bookmarks in EPUB and PDF books has been simplified, so it is now possible to control and add bookmarks in the same place.

Offline websites and push notifications: Microsoft Edge now supports Service Workers and the Push and Cache APIs. These new web standards allow web pages to send push notifications to your Action Center or refresh data in the background, even when the browser is closed. In addition, certain web pages can now work offline or improve performance by using locally cached data when the cache is up to date or when your device has a poor connection.

Web Media Extensions Pack: This build installs the Web Media Extensions for Microsoft Edge pack, which extends Microsoft Edge and Windows 10 to support open source formats (OGG Vorbis and Theora) commonly found on the web.

Gesture Improvements for Precision Touchpads: This build introduces a new gesture experience for Precision Touchpads (found on Surface and other modern Windows 10 devices). Now you can use gestures like pinch-and-zoom, or two-finger panning, to achieve the same interactions on websites that you can today with a touch screen. For example, you can now pinch to zoom on a map in Bing Maps to zoom in on the map without zooming the entire page.
