# Terminating a Survey

Navigate to the Survey Termination options by clicking in the Details panel, choose **Terminate Survey** as Question Type. Click **Save**

**Tip:** Surveys do not display text written in a terminate survey question box. To enter text to terminate a survey, the user must first put a break question with desired text then an empty **Terminate Survey** question.

**Note:** Skip patterns skip to pages, not questions. When you have a skip to a terminate survey question, it skips to the top of the page that holds the terminate survey button. A survey participant will have to view every question on that page before the survey terminates.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shiftiq.com/help/surveys/question-configuration/terminating-a-survey.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
