+:::note[Returning state]
+
+When returning state from a `step`, ensure that the object you return is _serializable_.
+
+Primitive types like `string`, `number`, and `boolean`, along with composite structures such as `Array` and `Object` (provided they only contain serializable values), can be serialized.
+
+Objects that include `Function` or `Symbol` types, and objects with circular references, cannot be serialized and the Workflow instance will throw an error if objects with those types is returned.
