First, make sure you've installed the stopwatch component from the Adalo Marketplace, then click the plus button in the left panel, find the stopwatch component and drag it on to a screen in your app.

You can adjust the following in the left panel:

* Time Font Size
* Icon Size
* Show Miliseconds?
* Start Button

    * The start button will always start the time (no need to add actions for that), but you can specify additional actions to run when the play button is pressed.
