# Schedule or cancel a send

> Sending later, and stopping a send you have already scheduled.

Source: https://donorcare.my/help/organizations/email/schedule-or-cancel-a-campaign/

**Who can do this:** Owner, Admin

Send a campaign at a chosen date and time instead of straight away — and pull it back before it goes out.

## Steps

1. **On the Review step of the campaign wizard, under Delivery, select Schedule for later** instead of Send Now.

2. **Pick a Date and Time.** DonorCARE shows these in your organization's own time zone, and won't accept a time only a few minutes away.

3. **Select Schedule Campaign.** The campaign's status changes to Scheduled, showing the time it's due to go out.

4. **To cancel, open the campaign and select Cancel Schedule.** This returns it to Draft with nothing sent — edit it and schedule or send it again whenever you're ready.

**Do**

- Cancel with confidence any time a campaign still shows as Scheduled — nothing has gone out yet.

**Don't**

- Expect to cancel once sending has started. Cancel Schedule only exists for a campaign that's still Scheduled — once DonorCARE starts sending, it runs to completion, the same as selecting Send Now would have. See [Send an email campaign](https://donorcare.my/help/organizations/email/send-an-email-campaign/).

## If something goes wrong

| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel Schedule isn't there any more | The scheduled time has arrived and DonorCARE has already started sending | Nothing to cancel at that point — the campaign is on its way. Check its progress on the campaign's own page. |
