4.  In the Left Panel, search the Component Library for ‘**Country Select**’.
5.  Drag and drop the Country Select form component into your screen, and reposition it by dragging it around.
6.  Click on the Country Select form component to open its settings in the Right Panel. The panel has three tabs: **Design**, **Data**, and **Logic**.
    1.  On the **Design** tab, under **Properties**:
        1.  **Label**: Set the label shown above the field. The Label is a text element displayed above the Country Select component to describe its purpose, such as “Select Country,” helping users understand what information to provide.
        2.  **Placeholder**: Set the placeholder text shown inside the field. The Placeholder displays temporary text inside the Country Select component, such as “Country,” offering an example or guidance until the user makes a selection.
        3.  **Countries**: Control which countries appear in the dropdown. All countries are added by default. Click the **+** to search for and add a country. Use the **...** menu to import countries from the Government ID verification steps in your flow, reset to the default list, or remove all countries. The default selected country is set on the **Data** tab.
    2.  On the **Design** tab, use the **Layout**, **Typography**, and **Appearance** sections to style the component. See the Design tab section on the [Screen Step components in Inquiries](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/6bdXdAJjp5OE93u7L6AgNT/) page for details.
    3.  On the **Data** tab, choose the field the input is written to. By default, the country input is prefilled based on the user’s location. You can adjust this behavior:
        1.  **Disable Location-Based Prefill**: Turn this on to stop prefilling the country based on the user’s location.
        2.  **Prioritize device language country**: Turn this on to move the country that matches the user’s device language to the top of the dropdown.

        You can also customize the field’s behavior, such as whether it is required, and add custom validation rules to control when the entry is considered valid. See the Data tab section on the [Screen Step components in Inquiries](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/6bdXdAJjp5OE93u7L6AgNT/) page for details.

    4.  On the **Logic** tab, add rules that govern when the component appears, and when it does not. See the Logic tab section on the [Screen Step components in Inquiries](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/6bdXdAJjp5OE93u7L6AgNT/) page for details.

7.  Use the actions at the top right of the panel to copy, delete, or set translations on the component. To translate the text, see [Editing translations for your Inquiry](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/1vMFCXQxDsdpZ2YI4eguFd/).
8.  **Close** the step. You’ll have to **Save** and **Publish** the template to begin using it.
