Analyze a region of time with the cross-section marker

To select a range of time to investigate more closely, click anywhere on the timeline and drag the handles on the cross-section marker. The information shown in the details panel when in Processes mode or Samples mode updates to show data for the window of time you have defined.

To move the view so the selected range is in the center, click Center the display on the cross-section marker center_display_on_csm on the toolbar of the Live view or the Timeline view.

You can also control the cross-section marker with contextual menu options and keyboard shortcuts:
