# Editing window

> Set how long customers have to edit or cancel their order after checkout.

The editing window is the global time period after checkout during which customers can edit or cancel their order. Once the window closes, editing options disappear from your storefront for that order.

<Info>
  During the window, Editr applies an order hold to prevent the order from progressing to fulfillment before the customer has a chance to make changes.

## Duration options

| Option          | Notes                                      |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| 15 minutes      |                                            |
| 30 minutes      | Recommended                                |
| 60 minutes      |                                            |
| Custom duration | Enter any value in minutes, hours, or days |

30 minutes is the recommended default. It's long enough for most customers to spot and correct a mistake, but short enough that your fulfillment workflow isn't meaningfully delayed.

  <Step title="Save">Save your settings.</Step>
</Steps>

## How the order hold works

When an order is placed, Editr applies a hold that prevents it from entering your fulfillment workflow until the editing window closes.

Orders won't show as ready to fulfill immediately after checkout. This is expected behavior.
