Timeline Feedback - Issues and Improvements

Timeline Issues:
1- Pop outs on timeline cannot be viewed properly when on left or right side. The object is placed outside of the app/browser
2 - Horizontal scrollbar is awkward and a pain to use being placed at the bottom. Makes it impossible to see upper plotline sections while using it. (arrow keys are less efficient and unavailable on a tablet)
-- Suggest moving Horizontal scrollbar to the top object with Timeline since that Object stays in a fixed position and floats over the other panels as you vertically scroll
-- Suggest making the horizontal scrollbar a little thicker as well
Requests:
1 - Increase Zoom Out on timeline
--I want to see a larger section of the plotlines while also seeing the relationship connectors. Something that the "Expand Timeline" function does not offer

The option to automatically organize by event date would also be nice, instead of manually having to redo the entire timeline.

Maybe it's already been said, I just didn't want to go through all the comments, but it would be nice to make it easier to reorder events, and have events automatically shift down the timeline when I add an event before them.

Have y'all looked at the canvas interaction model in Miro, Lucidchart, Omnigraffle or Figjam? Miro and Figjam especially are pretty solid UX examples of visual object interaction with content that contains editable text.

For the horizontal crowbar, would it be better to have each individual timeline have its own scrollbar at the top/bottom, so the timeline itself scrolls rather than the whole page (like the panels but scrolling horizontally rather than vertically)?
If scrollbars are too small to be used on touch screen devices, could the whole panel (and/or timeline in this case) be scrollable by dragging the panel selected for editing (like dragging a webpage without affecting any other tabs on mobile)? So once the panel is selected for editing, dragging the panel up and down scrolls through the panel, and anywhere else scrolls through the webpage.

To add on to this it would be very helpful if we could get a tabular view of events with editable dates. So lets say I've got a "the world is created" era that spans 500 years and I want to plop a dozen or so historical events in there. I would like to quickly change event 1 to year 1, event 2 to year 10, etc. This could be done by storing my events in a text document but then I would have my timeline split across multiple tools. If I could see the events in a table I could adjust dates willy nilly.

Just my two cents on the scrollbars. I think the timeline would work great without any visible scrollbars. Just make it draggable. If the drag does not start on top of an event, move the view.
Additionally, mouse scroll should move the view horizontally instead of vertically. Since the data is spread in the horizontal direction, the scroll should respect the same principle. Now it moves through datasets.
