 ## Canceling prompt
 
-All prompt functions are returning a cancelable promise. This special promise type has a `cancel` method that'll cancel and cleanup the prompt.
+This can preferably be done with either an `AbortController` or `AbortSignal`.
+
+```js
+// Example 1: using built-in AbortSignal utilities
+import { confirm } from '@inquirer/prompts';
+
+const answer = await confirm({ ... }, { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000) });
+```
+
+```js
+// Example 1: implementing custom cancellation logic
+import { confirm } from '@inquirer/prompts';
+
+const controller = new AbortController();
+setTimeout(() => {
+  controller.abort(); // This will reject the promise
+}, 5000);
+
+const answer = await confirm({ ... }, { signal: controller.signal });
+```

+Alternatively, all prompt functions are returning a cancelable promise. This special promise type has a `cancel` method that'll cancel and cleanup the prompt.
 
 On calling `cancel`, the answer promise will become rejected.
 
 ```js
 import { confirm } from '@inquirer/prompts';
 
-const answer = confirm(...); // note: for this you cannot use `await`
+const promise = confirm(...); // Warning: for this pattern to work, `await` cannot be used.
