# userInfo

A property list that contains additional data about the item.

```
optional var userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any]? { get }
```

## Discussion

The `userInfo` data is often used by the predicate for actions defined by the File Provider UI extension. For more information, see `Adding Actions to the Context Menu`.

The `userInfo` dictionary can only accept entries with numbers (including Boolean values), dates, or strings as either the key or the value.
