# NSWritingToolsCoordinator.State.inactive

A state that indicates Writing Tools isn’t currently performing
any work on your view’s content.

```
case inactive
```

## Discussion

The coordinator starts in the `inactive` state, and transitions
immediately to the [`NSWritingToolsCoordinator.State.noninteractive`](/documentation/AppKit/NSWritingToolsCoordinator/State-swift.enum/noninteractive) or [`NSWritingToolsCoordinator.State.interactiveResting`](/documentation/AppKit/NSWritingToolsCoordinator/State-swift.enum/interactiveResting)
state when someone chooses an option from the Writing Tools UI.
After the coordinator finishes incorporating any changes for the
current operation, it returns to the `inactive` state and waits
for the person to choose a different option or dismiss the Writing Tools UI.
