# isAutomaticCustomizeTouchBarMenuItemEnabled

A Boolean value indicating whether the main menu contains an item for customizing the contents of the Touch Bar.

```
class var isAutomaticCustomizeTouchBarMenuItemEnabled: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

When the value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, AppKit adds a standard item to the app’s View menu that users can select to customize the Touch Bar contents, but only if a Touch Bar is present. If the View menu is unavailable, AppKit adds the item to either the Windows or App menu.

If you prefer to provide a customize menu item, set [`isAutomaticCustomizeTouchBarMenuItemEnabled`](/documentation/AppKit/NSTouchBar/isAutomaticCustomizeTouchBarMenuItemEnabled) to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>, and create the menu item with an action of [`toggleTouchBarCustomizationPalette(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSApplication/toggleTouchBarCustomizationPalette(_:)).

The default value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
