Edit Timeline Facts Dialogue

Please can you help me with this.
During research I sometimes find the facts for relatives clutter up the Facts list for individuals and wish to delete the relatives' facts.
I have searched the Help info and it tells me that "The Select Timeline Facts Dialog allows you to specify which facts you wish to see when the display of timeline facts is enabled. To open it, click on the Menu button on the Facts tab toolbar, and select Timeline Facts from the dropdown menu."
However when I click on the Individual's Facts Menu button, there is no Timeline Facts listed as an option.
Have I missed something, please?
Thanks for any advice
CJ

CJ, the Timeline Facts are only shown if the Show Timeline Facts button is enabled.
That is the button with the calendar & green + sign to the left of the cog menu button highlighted by Helen.
Click that button and the Timeline Facts are shown or hidden in this person's Facts tab. Is that what you wanted?

I don't think you want to actually delete the Facts from those other family relations.

The dialogue that Helen refers to lets you choose which Facts are governed by the Show Timeline Facts button.

Thank you both, Helen and Mike.
I don't know how I missed the appropriate cog menu button but I clicked on the one at top right rather than the correct one below the list of Facts. (I'd add a screenshot but I don't have permission)!
My apologies for taking up your time and many thanks again.
I can now switch between show and hide Timeline Facts. Brilliant!
Kind regards,
Chris

Thanks Mike,
'Learning all the time', to quote the late Benny Hill!
My original mistake was clicking on 'A' below and not 'B' as I should have - where I found the Option for Timeline Facts.
