 **In any code step, calling `return $.flow.exit()` will end the execution of the workflow immediately.** No remaining code in that step, and no code or destination steps below, will run for the current event.

-It's a good practice to use `return $.flow.exit()` to immediately exit the workflow.
-In contrast, `$.flow.exit()` on its own will end the workflow only after executing all remaining code in the step.
+`$.flow.exit()` does not exit the workflow immediately, only after all remaining code has been executed.
+If you want to exit the workflow immediately, you need to use other control structures to do so.
+It is best practice to return the value of `$.flow.exit()`.
