`GET /api/timeline/resolve`

**Spaces method and path for this operation:**

<div><span class="operation-verb get">get</span>&nbsp;<span class="operation-path">/s/{space_id}/api/timeline/resolve</span></div>

Refer to [Spaces](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/manage-spaces) for more information.

Resolve a Timeline or Timeline template, surfacing outcomes such as `exactMatch`, `aliasMatch`, or `conflict` when object IDs have been remapped during upgrades or imports. Provide **either** `id` for default Timelines or `template_timeline_id` for templates.

## Query parameters

- `template_timeline_id` string
- `id` string

## Response `200`
