When you add a modern page to a site, you add and customize web parts, which are the building blocks of your page.
This article focuses on the Countdown timer web part, which allows you to display a count down (or count up) to an event. You can add a title, set the date format, add a description, and a call to action button with a link.
Notes:
-
Some functionality is introduced gradually to organizations that have opted in to the Targeted Release program. This means that you may not yet see this feature or it may look different than what is described in the help articles.
-
The Countdown timer web part is not available in SharePoint Server 2019.
