-### Evaluate Status Explicitly
+#### failure with conditions
 
-Instead of using one of the methods above, you can evaluate the status of the job or composite action that is executing the step directly:
+You can include extra conditions for a step to run after a failure, but you must still include `failure()` to override the default status check of `success()` that is automatically applied to `if` conditions that don't contain a status check function.
 
-#### Example for workflow step
+##### Example
 
 ```yaml
 steps:
   ...
-  - name: The job has failed
-    if: {% raw %}${{ job.status == 'failure' }}{% endraw %}
+  - name: Failing step
+    id: demo
+    run: exit 1
+  - name: The demo step has failed
+    if: {% raw %}${{ failure() && steps.demo.conclusion == 'failure' }}{% endraw %}
 ```
 
-This is the same as using `if: failure()` in a job step.

-#### Example for composite action step
-
-```yaml
-steps:
-  ...
-  - name: The composite action has failed
-    if: {% raw %}${{ github.action_status == 'failure' }}{% endraw %}
-```
-
-This is the same as using `if: failure()` in a composite action step.
