# Using the End Form Session Step to Navigate

## Overview

In the Flow Designer, most steps are used to navigate within a Flow but some are used to control Studio/Portal navigation. The **End Form Session** step allows users the ability to use a variety of behavior options to determine where a Flow navigates to when the step is reached at runtime.
