For instance for a file processing Workflow, where one Activity downloads a file and subsequent Activities need to operate on that file. (If multiple Workers were on the same queue, subsequent Activities may get run on different machines that don't have the downloaded file.)

 # Nexus Cancellation
 
-This sample shows how to cancel a Nexus operation from a caller workflow.
+This sample shows how to cancel a Nexus operation from a caller workflow and specify a cancellation type. In this sample we will show using the `NexusOperationCancellationTypeWaitRequested` cancellation type, which allows the caller to return after the handler workflow has received the requested to be cancelled, but does not wait for the handler workflow to finish processing the cancellation request.
 
 For more details on Nexus and how to set up to run this sample, please see the [Nexus Sample](../nexus/README.md).
