# Workflow Delay > Keep workflows organized and consistent with controlled progress. URL: https://store.crowdin.com/workflow-step-delay Identifier: workflow-step-delay Category: Manager Productivity Type: App Author: Crowdin The **Workflow Delay** app lets you pause your workflow and bundle your text together. Instead of trickling strings through one by one, you can collect them and release them all at once. ## Key Benefits - By holding strings back for a few hours, you send the AI a complete block of text rather than fragmented lines. The AI can read the surrounding context, which means much more accurate translations and less time spent fixing errors later. - Instead of sending your translators or proofreaders a notification every single time a developer pushes a tiny copy fix, you can group updates into a clean, predictable daily batch. - Prevent half-translated files from being published. You can stop a file from hitting the next step until every single line in it is completely translated. ## How it works Once installed, the app adds two new blocks to your Workflow Editor: ### Cron Delay Pauses your strings and releases them on a timer. You can set it to hold text for 1, 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours. ![Cron Delay step in Crowdin Workflows](https://developers.app.crowdin.net/api/media/file/c2439312-9158-464b-afbc-3a78e2e26218.png) ### Wait for Full File Translation Holds the file at a specific step until 100% of the text is ready for all your project languages. ![Wait for Full File Translation in Crowdin Workflows](https://developers.app.crowdin.net/api/media/file/4174ccf8-5874-49fa-96f4-49a155bdcef7.png) ### Manage Translation Progress with Workflow Delay in Crowdin
