The Block Header (“Break iteration”)

The green input connector in the header is used to trigger the block to start executing, breaking iteration.

The title of the block (“Break iteration”) can be changed by double-clicking on it and typing in a new title.

Scope

The Break iteration block can either break out of the current iteration or break out of all nested iterations. The latter can be handy for instance in situations where nested loops or iterations are used to compare a combination of values with on-screen content.
