# End the flow

Responders might end the flow at different points, depending on the experience you have built for them. 

There are a few different ways to end the flow for a responder. Remember that you can choose the behavior for responders that partially complete a flow and then return to it in [returning responder behavior.](https://docs.formsort.com/form-behavior-settings/variant-settings/returning-responder-behavior)

### If the responder exits the flow early:

If you have conditional logic, you may want to end their flow earlier. A common use case for this is when the responder has given you information that disqualifies them for your product or service.

#### Here's how to set up a disqualifying step:

1. Create a step that tells the responder that they are not eligible.

2. Create **conditional logic** on the step so that only the disqualified responders see it. Make this step **finalizing** for them.

### If the responder completes the entire flow:

* Show them a thank you screen that indicates that the flow is completed. You can configure your confirmation text in **Settings > Strings > Confirmation Text**

The Settings tab also lets you set behavior for returning responders so you have more control of what happens when responders return back to a partially completed or completed flow.

* Show them a finalizing step<br>

* Redirect them to a different page at the end, such as your FAQ or a testimonials page. See more about redirects [here](https://docs.formsort.com/building-flows/redirects).

To make the redirect experience less abrupt, you can also add in a gif or animation to the last step the responder sees. Check out some [examples of loading images](https://fineflows.com/elements/loading-indicator).&#x20;
