The Merge Step can be configured to cancel all other pending branch assignments in a Flow process. The Merge step has the option to factor in certain conditions. For example, if a Split step Branches out to five different Approvals but only requires two, the Merge step will then Cancel the three unworked Tasks that were previously assigned.
Branch and Merge Steps do not create Parallel Processes and should only be used with Assigned Forms to create Parallel Approvals.
