# Pause a Duaer execution with Wait

In Duaer, Wait pauses the execution until a time interval, a date, a webhook call, or a form submit.
## Four ways to resume

After you add Wait, set Resume:

- After Time Interval: wait a duration, for example 5 minutes.
- At Specified Time: wait until the date and time you enter.
- On Webhook Call: wait until something calls the resume URL. Duaer builds that URL at run time. The expression is {{ $execution.resumeUrl }}.
- On Form Submitted: wait until someone submits the resume form.

A paused execution shows Waiting in Executions. When the time comes or the request arrives, the same execution continues. It does not start a new run.

For a person to approve a step, prefer a node with sendAndWait, such as email or Slack, instead of assembling the Wait URL yourself.
## Questions

### Does Wait in Duaer start a new execution when it resumes?

No. Waiting pauses the same execution. When it resumes, that same row continues.
