# Countdown offer section

The countdown offer section is perfect to promote new or discounted products by adding urgency with the countdown timer.

The section settings are as follows:

* style (more details [here](/marble-documentation/content-sections/common-settings.md#style))
* outer spacing (more details [here](/marble-documentation/content-sections/common-settings.md#outer-spacing))
* image (used for desktop)
* image - mobile
* layout (vertical alignment of the content: top, center, bottom)
* show content background (to enable/disable the background around the content in order to make it more readable)
* content fields for: heading, subheading
* expiration date -- the format is "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM". The time/date should be set based on your store timezon set in Settings -> Store Details -> Time zone and units of measurement.
* link (CTA) details
* resources -- products/collection that can be shown within the section

#### Resources

You can use the section without adding any resources. It might be used with just an image and the counter.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bigstart.gitbook.io/marble-documentation/content-sections/countdown-offer-section.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
