# identifier

A string that uniquely identifies the tool in the picker.

```
var identifier: String
```

## Discussion

For example, you might use the name `com.example.example-company.custom-tool`. If you use multiple tool items with the same identifier to create the picker, the picker only shows the first instance of that item.
