# What is a “terminal” screen?

Meta requires that every flow has at least one **terminal** screen—the screen where the user “finishes” the flow (e.g. taps “Done” or “Submit”). The builder automatically treats the **last** screen as the terminal screen and sets its button action to **Complete**. You do not need to configure this manually; just ensure your last screen has the final button text you want.
