# Time Since Decision node

Checks if a specified amount of time has passed since the user was registered.

For example, to prompt users to review your terms and conditions after the account is a week old, set the Elapsed Time property to `1 week`. After that time has elapsed, the next time the user logs in, they are prompted to review your terms and conditions.

Use this node for progressive profile completion.
