# Exit out of a component

## `webflow.exitComponent()`

Exit the focus of the Designer from a component definition. After exiting out of a component, the focus of the Designer will return to the `body` of the page.

### Syntax

```typescript
webflow.exitComponent(): Promise<null>
```

### Returns

**Promise\<`null`>**

A Promise that resolves to `null` when the context switch is successful.

### Example

```typescript
await webflow.exitComponent()
const rootElement = await webflow.getRootElement()
const rootElementType = rootElement?.type

// Print Root Element Type. If element type is Body, the Designer has exited out of the Component context
console.log(`Element Type: ${rootElementType}`)
```
