# Layers and properties

The timeline shows you the layers and properties that you have animated so far. Layers with no animations are not shown on your timeline unless explicity selected.

To navigate your animated layers and properties in the timeline, go to the left-hand-side of your timeline and click the arrow to see the nested layers and properties of a layer.
