-## Date and time selector
-
-### Pick timeframes to visualize
-
-While [panning through time and zooming in/out](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/interact-charts.mdx) from charts it is helpful when
-you're looking a recent history, or want to do granular troubleshooting, what if you want to see metrics from 6 hours
-ago? Or 6 days?
-
-Netdata's dashboard features a **timeframe selector** to help you visualize specific timeframes in a few helpful ways.
-By default, it shows a certain number of minutes of historical metrics based on the your browser's viewport to ensure
-it's always showing per-second granularity.
-
-#### Open the timeframe selector
-
-To visualize a new timeframe, you need to open the picker, which appears just above the menu, near the top-right cover
-of the dashboard.
-

-
-The **Clear** button resets the dashboard back to its default state based on your browser viewport, and **Apply** closes
-the picker and shifts all charts to the selected timeframe.
-
-#### Use the Quick Selector
-
-Click any of the following options in the **Quick Selector** to choose a commonly-used timeframe.
-
-- Last 5 minutes
-- Last 15 minutes
-- Last 2 hours
-- Last 6 hours
-- Last 12 hours
-
-Click **Apply** to see metrics from your selected timeframe.
-
-#### Choose a specific interval
-
-Beneath the Quick Selector is an input field and dropdown you use in combination to select a specific timeframe of
-minutes, hours, days, or months. Enter a number and choose the appropriate unit of time, then click **Apply**.
-
-#### Choose multiple days
-
-Use the calendar to select multiple days. Click on a date to begin the timeframe selection, then an ending date. The
-timeframe begins at noon on the beginning and end dates. Click **Apply** to see your selected multi-day timeframe.
-
-## Time controls
-
-The time control provides you the following options: **Play**, **Pause** and **Force Play**.
-* **Play** - the content of the page will be automatically refreshed while this is in the foreground
-* **Pause** - the content of the page isn't refreshed due to a manual request to pause it or, for example, when your investigating data on a 
-chart (cursor is on top of a chart)
-* **Force Play** - the content of the page will be automatically refreshed even if this is in the background
-
-With this, we aim to bring more clarity and allow you to distinguish if the content you are looking at is live or historical and also allow you
- to always refresh the content of the page when the tabs are in the background. 
-
-Main use cases for **Force Play**:
-* You use a terminal or deployment tools to do changes in your infra and want to see immediately, Netdata is in the background, displaying the impact 
-of these changes
-* You want to have Netdata on the background, example displayed on a TV, to constantly see metrics through dashboards or to watch the alert 
-status

-
-## Timezone selector
-
-With the timezone selector, you have the ability to change the timezone on Netdata Cloud. More often than not teams are 
-distributed in different timezones and they need to collaborate.
-
-Our goal is to make it easier for you and your teams to troubleshoot based on your timezone preference and communicate easily 
-with varying timezones and timeframes without the need to be concerned about their specificity.

-
-When you change the timezone all the date and time fields will be updated to be displayed according to the specified timezone, this goes from 
-charts to alerts information and across the Netdata Cloud.
-
-## Caveats and considerations
-
-**Longer timeframes will decrease metrics granularity**. At the default timeframe, based on your browser viewport, each
-"tick" on charts represents one second. If you select a timeframe of 6 hours, each tick represents the _average_ value
-across a larger period of time.
-
-**You can only see metrics as far back in history as your metrics retention policy allows**. Netdata uses an internal
-time-series database (TSDB) to store as many metrics as it can within a specific amount of disk space. The default
-storage is 256 MiB, which should be enough for 1-3 days of historical metrics. If you navigate back to a timeframe
-beyond stored historical metrics, you'll see this message:
-

-storage](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/114207597-63a23280-9911-11eb-863d-4d2f75b030b4.png)
-
-At any time, [configure the internal TSDB's storage capacity](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/store/change-metrics-storage.md) to expand your
-depth of historical metrics.
-
-## What's next?
-
-One useful next step after selecting a timeframe is [exporting the
-metrics](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/import-export-print-snapshot.mdx) into a snapshot file, which can then be shared and imported
-into any other Netdata dashboard.
-
-There are also many ways to [customize](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/customize.mdx) the standard dashboard experience, from changing
-the theme to editing the text that accompanies every section of charts.
