This needs to be updated for grammar and clarity as it's mixing terms.
The provision action behaves slightly different than other actions. When Vagrant executes its stack, each action performs some function and then calls the next action in the stack. In some cases (like the provision action), the action will perform some function, call the next action, and wait for the it to return to perform some extra functionality or cleanup. This behavior can result in seemingly unexpected results for after triggers since the targeted action will complete after the rest of the actions in the stack have executed.

Output of this should be included to display the behavior.

| When running `vagrant provision` or `vagrant up`, the before and after triggers | ||
| will run before the provisioning of the box happens. |
