I recently turned-on the option to undo a sent email (30 seconds), but I can't find a way to execute the undo

I read an article that informed me that Gmail recently added an option where one can undo the sending of an email up to 30 seconds after the enter key ( to send it) has been hit. I went into settings and turned this feature on and set it for 30 seconds. But I can't find any instructions on how to "undo" an email. How do you use this feature when needed, after it is is turned on?

This feature might only apply to messages sent on the webmail platform, and not to dedicated mail clients, particularly considering the tight timing of the 30-second delay.
