# isDetached

A Boolean value that indicates whether the window created by a popover’s detachment is automatically created.

```
var isDetached: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

When [`isDetached`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopover/isDetached) is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the detached window is automatically created. This property does not apply when detaching a popover results in a window returned by [`detachableWindow(for:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopoverDelegate/detachableWindow(for:)).
