Some ideas are:
- You branch off into another timeline and your actions make no difference to the previous timeline
- You’ve already taken said actions but just didn’t know about it so nothing changes
- Actions taken can have an effect (so you could suddenly erase yourself if you killed your parents)
- Only “nexus” or fixed events really matter, the timeline will sort itself out for minor changes
- something else entirely

The one where you can only jump forward, not backward. It avoids the common paradoxes.
we already live in that one
See? Problem solved.
I like the one where the motion of the universe is not accounted for, so the travelers drop into empty space. But someone figures out how to use that to travel through space.
Time Wars are fun though. Each prime timeline moving others toward them.
I like the persistent present. We simply live with the paradoxes.
“Remember when Hitler was assassinated in 1919, 1933, 1936, and 1939, then off’d himself in his bunker in '45?”
“An unidentified man in SS uniform reportedly tried to kill Hitler during a rally at the Berlin Sportpalast.” 1939
This was definitely the time traveller.
