To edit the Name, Date, or Time of a Countdown, click one of your custom Countdowns at the top right of your Momentum page to open the Countdown menu, hover your mouse cursor over the Countdown that you want to edit, click the Settings ⚙️icon that appears to the right of it, make your changes, and then click Save.
Archiving/deleting a Countdown
After a Countdown's date has been reached it will display the number of days that have passed since your Countdown was reached. If you'd prefer to remove this countdown from your Momentum page you can Archive or Delete it within the Countdown menu.
- Archiving a Countdown removes it from your Momentum page, but stores it so you can view it again later.
- Deleting a Countdown removes it completely.
To archive or delete a Countdown, click one of your Custom countdowns at the top right of Momentum to open the Countdown menu, hover your mouse cursor over the Countdown you want to archive or delete in the Countdown menu, click the Settings ⚙️icon that appears to the right of it, click ... at the top right corner of the Countdown menu and then select the Archive or Delete option.
Viewing and restoring archived Countdowns
To view your archived Countdowns, click one of your custom Countdowns at the top right of Momentum to open the Countdown menu, click ... at the top right corner of the Countdown menu to display the Countdown options, and then select Go to Archive.
- To restore an archived Countdown, hover your mouse cursor over one of your archived Countdowns while viewing the Archive and then click the Restore ⟲ icon that appears.
Enabling/disabling the Show Random option
Activating Show Random in the Countdown options, randomly displays one of your un-pinned Countdowns along with your pinned ones whenever you reload your Momentum page. This lets you keep a casual eye on distant events, without cluttering your Momentum page with a bunch of Countdowns.
To enable the Show Random option, click one of your custom Countdowns at the top right of Momentum to open the Countdown menu, click ... at the top right corner of the Countdown menu to display the Countdown options and then click the switch next to Show Random. To disable this option, click the switch next to Show Random again.
