Under the settings of a timeline, go to the Import section and select the .json file that you exported from GitKraken timelines.

Two entries will be created for every annotation: one for the start date and one for the end date, prefixed with 'Start: ' and 'End: ' respectively.

Note that GitKraken Timelines has been sunset, so it is no longer possible to export timelines from the service. However, we understand that some users may still have access to their previously exported .json files and may want to import them into Chronologies.
