    1. To remove currently defined exit criteria, click Remove this Exit Criteria when the journey is in Draft mode.

    Note
    Note Contacts are removed based on the first filter criteria matched, even if they meet multiple filters.

When a contact meets any of the exit filter criteria upon leaving a wait activity, the contact is removed from the journey.
