# Terminating Workflows

The **Terminate Step** is a powerful tool designed to explicitly define a point within your workflow where the execution should immediately cease. Whether to halt a process due to an error, fulfil a specific condition, or simply end a workflow after completing its intended task, the Terminate Step provides a straightforward and effective solution.

## Adding Terminate Steps

You can get started adding a terminate step by clicking on a **+** button in your workflow and selecting the **Terminate** step from the Workflow's toolbox.  

No further configuration is required - execution will be halted immediately when this step is reached within your workflow. You can add as many terminates as you require to handle different flows within your process.

Terminate Steps are append only steps - which means they cannot be inserted in between 2 steps as this would break your workflow chain.
