MacOS offers two main options when you're done using your Mac or MacBook: sleep and shutdown. At a high level, these are self-explanatory, but you might wonder when to use each mode and what exactly is going on during both of them.

Shutting down your Mac is like turning off any other computer. To ensure a proper shutdown on your MacBook, don't close the lid until the screen is off. Apple's guidance states that closing the lid during the shutdown process can cause it to start more slowly next time.
When you do a normal shutdown by clicking Shut Down from the Apple menu at the top-left, a one-minute countdown runs to allow you to cancel the action if you change your mind. If you're sure you want to shut down, hold the Option key when you click Shut Down to bypass the countdown.
Thus, if you need to cut power to troubleshoot accessories or similar, a full shutdown is better.
On your MacBook, the Touch ID button at the top-right will lock your computer if you press it quickly while the computer is on.
The easiest way to put your MacBook to sleep is by closing the lid, though you can also select Sleep from the Apple menu.
