Countdown Timer Tour

Where it lives

The list and the builder

Click Search at the top of your screen, type Countdown Timer and open it. You can also find it in your menu, but menus can be renamed, so search is the sure way. You will work in two places: the timers list and the builder.

Your filing cabinet

Every timer you build shows up here. When you have a dozen, the list is how you find the right one fast.

New starts a fresh timer
Clear names make old timers easy to spot

Three things to point at

Each timer has Edit, Copy Code, and a three-dot menu. You will use each one in the next few videos.

Edit changes the timer
Copy Code grabs the timer's code for custom spots
The three-dot menu holds extra actions

The same steps every time

Click New and you land in the builder. Pick a template, choose a timer type, set the details, add two links, style it, name it, and save.

Template first, then Continue with this template
Active Link and Expired Link come after the dates
Name goes at the top, then click Save
