Unfortunately, once an email is sent in Gmail, it cannot be edited. However, Gmail does offer an 'Undo Send' feature that allows you to recall a sent email within a set time frame (up to 30 seconds). To use this, go to Settings > See all settings > General tab, and adjust the 'Undo Send' timing according to your preference. This feature must be enabled before you need it, so setting it up in advance is key.
