# popoverTouchBar

The bar displayed when this item is “popped.”

```
var popoverTouchBar: NSTouchBar { get set }
```

## Discussion

Set this property to a fully configured instance of [`NSTouchBar`](/documentation/AppKit/NSTouchBar) that is displayed when the user taps on the popover item. By default this is an empty bar.
