Kegging for the 1st time

I have a question about kegging from what i found you can pressurize a keg to 30PSI and roll the keg to get the CO2 all around the beer, however i am not sure how long it should stay at 30 psi after you get done rolling it.

I assume it maybe a day or so but i am not sure.

Thanks guys
