# handleOutboundDataComplete(for:)

Make a filtering decision after seeing all of the outbound data for a flow.

```
func handleOutboundDataComplete(for flow: NEFilterFlow) -> NEFilterDataVerdict
```

## Parameters

`flow`

An [`NEFilterFlow`](/documentation/NetworkExtension/NEFilterFlow) object containing information about the flow.

## Return Value

An [`NEFilterDataVerdict`](/documentation/NetworkExtension/NEFilterDataVerdict) object indicating how the system should handle the flow of network content.

## Discussion

The system calls this method after all of the outbound data for a flow of network content has been given to the Filter Data Provider.

`NEFilterDataProvider` subclasses must override this method.
