### Step 2: Adjust the Timer

{% hint style="info" %}
The reliability of the timer element is **increments of 0.25 seconds**. So if you have a rule that says when Timer matches 7.2 seconds, it will probably trigger at 7.25 seconds.
{% endhint %}

The right panel provides different options to customize your timer.

You can switch between count up/count down, control the Minutes/Seconds, Autoplay option, and choose the font and its weight, adjust the placement.
