Publishing your timemap

After you’ve added the data, your timemap is ready to be visualised. You do this first by publishing your Google spreadsheet to the web which would make it visible to everyone and ready to be embedded onto your website:

• go to File – Publish to the web and click on Start publishing. Although you have published your Timemap by doing this, it is still not reachable for everyone in the expected format.
• After that click done and go to the upper right corner of the Google Sheets page and click Share. As shown on the picture below, you need to select the Anyone with the link can view, or Anyone on the internet can find and view option.

• After you copied the URL, paste it onto the Timemapper page or select the spreadsheet from your Google Drive. On this page you can give your Timemap a title, make a custom URL and select if you want to show a Timeline, a Timemap or just a Map depending on your data. You can also choose if you want your timemap to start from the first, the last or the present day.

• Click Publish and you’ll be automatically redirected to your Timemap. In order to get your HTML code and insert the project to a website, click embed and copy paste the code into your own website’s code.
