A countdown builds excitement before your deadline. Here's how to set the countdown on your program page, and how it relates to countdowns on your website pages.
Set the countdown on your program page
Open the program. The Content tab opens on the About section.
Scroll to the Countdown field and pick the date and time.
Click Save Content.
Countdowns on website pages
A countdown on one of your website pages (built in the CMS page builder) is a separate design element. It isn't linked to your program, so it stays the same when you change your dates. To change it, edit the page in the page builder.

Good to know
Countdowns are for display only. They don't open or close submissions.
Your real deadline is the round's Submission Dates → Deadline, in Settings → General Settings, using the round's Timezone.
When you change a deadline, update your countdowns to match.
