When an ellipsis is at the end of a sentence, the three dots are typically followed by a period if the ellipsis is used to indicate the omission of words at the end of a complete thought. The correct format would be four dots in total: three for the ellipsis and one for the period. If the ellipsis indicates a trailing off thought or an unfinished sentence, you would only use the three dots.
