# url

The current URL for the item managed by the file access intent instance. (read-only)

```
var url: URL { get }
```

## Discussion

Always use the URL returned by this property inside the accessor block of a file coordinator’s [`coordinate(with:queue:byAccessor:)`](/documentation/Foundation/NSFileCoordinator/coordinate(with:queue:byAccessor:)) method. This property’s value may be different from the original URL, because the item was either moved or renamed while the file coordinator waited for access.

## See Also

[`-  coordinateAccessWithIntents:queue:byAccessor:`](/documentation/Foundation/NSFileCoordinator/coordinate(with:queue:byAccessor:))

Performs a number of coordinated-read or -write operations asynchronously.
