# Stop When Value

Stop When Value ends the remaining steps in the Test Case when a [Value Store](/values/value-store.md) item matches the comparison you set. Use it as a conditional exit based on data captured earlier in the Flow.

## When to use it

* End the Flow early when a stored flag or status code matches an expected value.
* Skip optional steps when a captured API response shows the journey already completed.
* Store the value first in the [Value Store](/values/value-store.md) when the Flow needs fresh data to compare.
