You can configure the properties of the Countdown element in the Properties panel on the right sidebar.

  • HH:mm:ss: Displays hours, minutes and seconds.
    
    • HH: Uses the 24-hour clock format (00-23).
    • mm: Displays minutes (00-59).
    • ss: Indicates seconds (00-59).
    • Example: 14:30:45 (14 hours, 30 minutes, 45 seconds)
  • HH:mm: Shows hours and minutes.
    
    • HH: Uses 24-hour time format (00-23).
    • mm: Displays minutes (00-59).
    • Example: 14:30 (14 hours, 30 minutes)
  • mm:ss: Shows minutes and seconds.
    
    • mm: Shows minutes (00-59).
    • ss: Indicates seconds (00-59).

These hour, minute and second formats provide a standardized structure for accurate display of the countdown. You can choose the appropriate format according to the needs of your application.
