Stop the loop and Next item
Inside a loop you sometimes do not want to finish everything. With Next item (continue) you skip the rest of this pass and go on with the next item. With Stop the loop (break) you stop altogether: the workflow continues after the loop. Both only exist inside a loop, usually after an If / Else. Here you look for the first product that is sold out.
Open Flow and create a workflow
In the portal, under Environments, click Development and there Open; Flow opens in a new tab. There, click ＋ next to General, choose New workflow and give it a name. A new workflow starts with an Event trigger: the point where it begins.
