# How to Rebond Tokens During the Unbonding Period

:::note[Related concepts]
For the underlying concepts, see [Staking (advanced)](/wiki/learn/learn-staking-advanced/).
:::

If you unbonded your tokens but changed your mind, you can rebond them before the unbonding period is over through the  "**Network** "  **> "Staking**"  **> "**[**Account page**](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fpolkadot-asset-hub-rpc.polkadot.io#/staking-async)" on the Polkadot Developer Interface. This extrinsic is issued by the **stash or staking proxy** account.

:::tip[GOOD TO KNOW]

Controller accounts have been removed from staking. Staking actions are now signed by your stash account or, optionally, a staking proxy that can act on its behalf with added flexibility.

Check out the article on [creating a proxy account](/wiki/learn/how-to/create-proxy-account/) for more information.
:::

1\. Click on the three dots on the right side of your account under the "Stashes" section.

2\. Select "**Rebond funds** ":

3. On the window that opens up, enter the amount you want to rebond or leave the pre-filled amount if you want to rebond the entire amount that's unbonding:
