Hi Strahan​, thanks for posting on the Community.

When you select the day you want to rewind to, are you seeing the option for the blue line as mentioned in this article?

Could you attach a screenshot showing what you're seeing, while hiding any personal info, in order for us to assist further?

    Hi.  Yes, I see the blue line:

     

    But the problem is, as you can see the whole page worth covers a mere 2 minutes.  For some active projects, this kind of intense activity occurs all day.  So if it's 7:00 PM and I need to rewind to 11:30 AM, I have to hit "show older history" a lot before I get down to where I need.

    Is there any way to tell it to start the selection around a specific time rather than having to scroll and scroll forever?
