An ellipsis is primarily used to indicate a pause or an omission in text. It can show that something has been left out, whether that's part of a quote or some text that the writer has chosen not to include. Additionally, it can create a sense of trailing off or hesitation in dialogue. It is not typically used to show where a thought ends, to indicate a change in subject, or specifically to correct or delete information.
