The Animation panel in the Sidebar 'Animation' deck (<Alt>+7 shortcut) seems to provide all tools and a GUI to assign and preview animation for elements of individual slides.

The Sidebar Deck can be undocked, and resized larger if preferred.

While running the slide show from any slide allows full screen assessment of the layout of the presentation and its effects.

I can't see that anything else is required that is not already present.

Please explain what this enhancement might include, and how it would be an improvement over what is already provided.

I think OP means they want to see a timeline with overlapping bars, like in the screenshots. We don't have that on the sidebar.

... and he hasn't specifically asked for that to be available on the sidebar.

@wodsfort: Please comment. And additionally to "I want a visual timeline" please explain why this feature is needed. This use case typically includes a goal and the workflow like "I want to achieve Foo by doing Bar and fail because of Baz". 

Or comment if you don't have a specific workflow in mind but recommend the timeline as a design goodie.
