In most instances the plywood is ok as if installed properly there is room for the sheathing to expand and contract without causing buckling. If the paper got wet I'd replace it as the puckers in the felt can telegraph through the shingles. Never shingle over wet sheathing. This can give rise to a mold issue within the home.

If you are using thin 3-tab 15 or 20 year shingles, pull the paper off and re-paper it making sure to shingle the paper properly with the existing paper to remain. If you are using a dimensional or arcitectural shingle in the 30-50 year range, it is heavier and the paper warping will not affect it.
Unless your roof has a vapor barrier attached to the underside of it- and it shouldn't, you are OK to reshingle without waiting.
If the roof sheathing has warped or buckled, you have another problem we address differently. But assuming you do not see this, go on with life. We do this every day on thousands of units across the SouthEast.

let it dry out, assess the surface of the plywood, if it is delaminating replace it, otherwise shingle over it after FULLY dry you dont want to seal in the moisture with the shingles

you can continue to roof with the shingles.i have been roofing for over 20 yrs. and in that time i have had to finish a roof in a unexpected storm.my only concern would be,when roof paper gets wet and then dries it gets very lumpy.if using 3 tabs this may show up.you may want to re-paper.if using an architect shingle then there is no problem.good luck

Continue- CDX plywood is made to withstand some moisture, so is the chip board.

You dont want to button it up wet. Everything should be ok once it is dry.

There's a big diference between "wet", and, "soaked".
