Countdown Widget
The Countdown widget displays the time remaining until a specified date and time, or the time elapsed since a specified date and time. It's perfect for creating anticipation for upcoming events, promotions, product launches, deadlines, or any time-sensitive occasion. It is also useful for showing time elapsed for things like "Days since last incident".
When you hover your mouse over the countdown widget on your design you will see two icons in the upper right hand corner of the widget. The gear icon will open up the control panel for this widget. The pencil icon
will allow you to edit the elements inside of the widget.
