# Track time on a Unit

Record time against a Work Unit with the timer or a manual entry.

## Use the timer

1. Open the Work Unit.
2. Open **Time tracking** or the current stopwatch control.
3. Start the timer when work begins.
4. Stop it when the activity ends.
5. Review the recorded duration before saving or submitting it.

## Add time manually

Use **Add time** when the work already happened or the timer was not running. Enter the duration and any required details, then save it.

## Provider behavior

* **Jira and Wrike:** Quely can use provider worklog entries.
* **Azure DevOps and monday.com:** Quely can use aggregate provider time.
* **Linear:** time is stored locally in Quely.
* **GitHub Issues, Trello, and Todoist:** do not assume provider time writeback. Confirm the saved Quely entry.

## If time does not sync

* Confirm the Unit's provider and its supported time behavior.
* Confirm the provider connection is active.
* Confirm your provider account can log work when writeback is supported.
* Check whether the entry was saved in Quely.
* Compare Quely and the provider before entering it again.
