# importFromDeviceIdentifier

The identifier for a Continuity Camera menu item, which takes pictures or scans documents using an iOS device.

```
class let importFromDeviceIdentifier: NSUserInterfaceItemIdentifier
```

## Discussion

Use this string to locate the standard menu item that supports the Continuity Camera feature. The menu item stores this value in its [`identifier`](/documentation/AppKit/NSUserInterfaceItemIdentification/identifier) property.
