Arrange the steps for taking a delayed Snipping Tool screenshot.

First select the desired **Delay** interval, then click **New** to begin the countdown. During the delay, prepare the screen—for example, open the menu or dialog that is difficult to capture without preparation. When the countdown ends, the screen freezes and the user takes the screenshot using the previously selected capture shape. **Key takeaway:** Set the delay before clicking New, then use the countdown to prepare the interface.\n\n**Glossary:**\n- **Delay interval**: The number of seconds the Snipping Tool waits before capture.\n- **Snip shape**: The chosen capture mode, such as rectangular, free-form, window, or full-screen.
