## Discussion

This type of animation shows the insertion of text to your view. When preparing
for this animation, hide the text in the provided range if you haven’t
already. If you support animating the reflow of your view’s text, you can
also prepare any other animations you need. Writing Tools uses a preview
object you provide to animate the insertion of the text.
