# Editing send delays & timing

Every flow sends its emails on a schedule: the flow is triggered, and each email sends after the waiting period you've set. Wiz picks sensible timing for you based on best practices, but every delay is yours to change.

## Changing a delay

Timing lives in the [flow builder](#), where each waiting period is a **Time Delay** step between emails.

1. Open **Wiz → Flows & pop-up**, click the flow's **⋯** menu, and choose **Edit flow**.

2. Click the **Time Delay** node you want to change.

3. Set **Wait for** to the number of minutes, hours, or days you want.

4. Click **Save** in the bar at the top of the page to apply your changes.

## How the delays work

Delays are measured **from the previous step**, not from when the flow started. So a delay of *2 days* before the second email means it sends two days after the first one.

You can also add new waiting periods anywhere in the flow: click the **+** between two nodes and choose **Add Time Delay**. See [The flow builder](#) for everything else you can change.

|| Keep your emails spaced out. Delays that are too short can overwhelm subscribers - and emails with no delay between them send back-to-back.

## Common questions

**Do delay changes affect people already in the flow?**

Changes apply going forward. Save your new timing and the flow will use it for future sends.

**Can different emails in one flow have different delays?**

Yes - every Time Delay node is independent. A common pattern: a short wait before the first reminder, longer waits before the follow-ups.

**Can I remove a delay entirely?**

Yes - click the Time Delay node's **⋯** menu and choose **Delete**. Just remember the next email will then send immediately after the previous step.
