+### Time Travel
+
+> Since version 3.1.0
+
+Supports reading specified snapshots of Paimon tables.
+
+By default, read requests only read the latest version of snapshots.
+
+You can query snapshots of a specified Paimon table through the `$snapshots` 
table function:
+
+```sql
+Doris > SELECT snapshot_id,commit_time FROM paimon_tbl$snapshots;
++-------------+-------------------------+
+| snapshot_id | commit_time             |
++-------------+-------------------------+
+|           1 | 2025-08-17 06:05:52.740 |
+|           2 | 2025-08-17 06:05:52.979 |

+|           4 | 2025-08-17 06:05:53.561 |
++-------------+-------------------------+
+```
+
+You can use `FOR TIME AS OF` and `FOR VERSION AS OF` statements to read 
historical version data based on snapshot ID or the time when the snapshot was 
created. Examples:
+
+```sql
+-- Notice: The time must be precise down to the millisecond.
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl FOR TIME AS OF "2025-08-17 06:05:52.740";
+-- Notice: The timestamp must be precise down to the millisecond.
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl FOR TIME AS OF 1755381952740;
+-- Use snapshot id
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl FOR VERSION AS OF 1;
+```
+
+### Branch and Tag
+
+> Since version 3.1.0
+
+Supports reading branches and tags of specified Paimon tables.
+
+You can use the `$branches` and `$tags` system tables to view branches and 
tags of Paimon tables:
+
+```
+Doris > SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl$branches;
++-------------+-------------------------+

+Supports various syntax forms to be compatible with systems like Spark/Trino:
+
+```sql
+-- BRANCH
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl@brand(branch1);
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl@brand("name" = "branch1");
+
+-- TAG
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl@tag(tag1);
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl@tag("name" = "tag1");
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl FOR VERSION AS OF 'tag1';
+```
+
+For the `FOR VERSION AS OF` syntax, Doris will automatically determine whether 
the parameter is a timestamp
 
 ## System Tables
 
-> This feature is supported since version 3.1.0
+> Since version 3.1.0
 
 Doris supports querying Paimon system tables to retrieve table-related 
metadata. System tables can be used to view snapshot history, manifest files, 
data files, partitions, and other information.

+You can use `FOR TIME AS OF` and `FOR VERSION AS OF` statements to read 
historical version data based on snapshot ID or the time when the snapshot was 
created. Examples:
+
+```sql
+-- Notice: The time must be precise down to the millisecond.
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl FOR TIME AS OF "2025-08-17 06:05:52.740";
+-- Notice: The timestamp must be precise down to the millisecond.
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl FOR TIME AS OF 1755381952740;
+-- Use snapshot id
+SELECT * FROM paimon_tbl FOR VERSION AS OF 1;
+```
+
+### Branch and Tag
+
+> Since version 3.1.0
+
+Supports reading branches and tags of specified Paimon tables.
+
+You can use the `$branches` and `$tags` system tables to view branches and 
tags of Paimon tables:
