+Customizing Logout
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionadded:: 5.1
+
+    The ``LogoutEvent`` was introduced in Symfony 5.1. Prior to this
+    version, you had to use a
+    :ref:`logout success handler <reference-security-logout-success-handler>`
+    to customize the logout.
+
+In some cases you need to execute extra logic upon logout (e.g. invalidate
+some tokens) or want to customize what happens after a logout. During
+logout, a :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Http\\Event\\LogoutEvent`
+is dispatched. Register an :doc:`event listener or subscriber </event_dispatcher>`
+to execute custom logic. The following information is available in the
+event class:
+
+``getToken()``
+    Returns the security token of the session that is about to be logged
+    out.
+``getRequest()``
+    Returns the current request.
+``getResponse()``
+    Returns a response, if it is already set by a custom listener. Use
+    ``setResponse()`` to configure a custom logout response.
+
+
 .. tip::
 
-    Need more control of what happens after logout? Add a ``success_handler`` key
-    under ``logout`` and point it to a service id of a class that implements
-    :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Http\\Logout\\LogoutSuccessHandlerInterface`.
+    Every Security firewall has its own event dispatcher
+    (``security.event_dispatcher.FIREWALLNAME``). The logout event is
+    dispatched on both the global and firewall dispatcher. You can register
+    on the firewall dispatcher if you want your listener to only be
+    executed for a specific firewall. For instance, if you have an ``api``
+    and ``main`` firewall, use this configuration to register only on the
+    logout event in the ``main`` firewall:
