+## Decremental Progress
+
+`indicators` allows you to easily control the progress direction, i.e., incremental or decremental progress by using  `option::ProgressType`. To program a countdown progress bar, use `option::ProgressType::decremental`

+```cpp

 ## Working with Iterables
 
 If you'd like to use progress bars to indicate progress while iterating over iterables, e.g., a list of numbers, this
