High-level transitions

Transitions originating from composite states are called high-level or group transitions. If triggered, they result in exiting of all the substates of the composite state executing their exit activities starting with the innermost states in the active state configuration. A high-level transition with a target outside the composite state causes execution of the exit action of the composite state, while a high-level transition with a target inside the composite state will not cause execution of the exit action of the composite state.
