# pressAndHoldTouchBar

The bar that is displayed when a user press-and-holds on the popover item.

```
var pressAndHoldTouchBar: NSTouchBar? { get set }
```

## Discussion

This [`NSTouchBar`](/documentation/AppKit/NSTouchBar) can be the same as the one used for the [`popoverTouchBar`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopoverTouchBarItem/popoverTouchBar) property, but does not have to be.

When non-`nil` this touch bar is displayed while the user holds their finger down on the collapsed representation of the popover item. When the user raises their finger, this bar disappears.
