+    Individual manipulation actions (<code>updateTime</code>, <code>updateGroup</code> and <code>remove</code>) can also be set on individual items. If any of the item-level
+    actions are specified (and <code>overrideItems</code> is not <code>false</code>) then that takes precedence over the settings at the timeline level. Current behavior is
+    that if any of the item-level actions are not specified, those items get <code>undefined</code> value (rather than inheriting from the timeline level). This may change
+    in future major releases, and code that specifies all item level values will handle major release changes better. That is, instead of using
+    <code>editable: {updateTime : true}</code>, use <code>editable: {updateTime : true, updateGroup: false, remove: false}</code>.
