# isDisconnected

A Boolean value indicating that the domain is present, but disconnected from the file extension.

```
var isDisconnected: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Users can continue to browse the content from a disconnected domain; however, the File Provider extension no longer sends or receives updates about modifications to the files.

To change the disconnected state, create a new [`NSFileProviderDomain`](/documentation/FileProvider/NSFileProviderDomain) using the same identifier, and pass it to [`add(_:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/FileProvider/NSFileProviderManager/add(_:completionHandler:)).
