5. Click **Save** to update the changes.

### Verifying Authorization:

Allow time for the DNS system to confirm the changes. This process may take anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours, depending on the DNS record propagation time.

Verify that the DKIM configuration has been successfully completed by clicking the **Verify** button in your MessageFlow panel. If the entry's status changes to **Verified**, it means the authorization was successful.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have questions or concerns, we recommend that you contact your hosting provider's support department directly so that you receive precise and most up-to-date instructions for your account.
