How it's used
退出 is often used in digital contexts, such as leaving a messaging group or logging out of an application. It carries a sense of active choice to remove oneself from a previously established commitment or social circle. While it can apply to physical events like competitions, it is equally common for virtual spaces.
Examples
He decided to quit the group.
Are you really going to withdraw from this competition?

Common mistake
Learners sometimes confuse this with 離開, which simply means to leave a physical location. 退出 implies a formal or semi-formal act of ending a membership or participation, whereas 離開 is neutral and can apply to just walking out of a room.
