# navigationSplitView

A background placement behind the content of a [`NavigationSplitView`](/documentation/SwiftUI/NavigationSplitView).

```
static let navigationSplitView: ContainerBackgroundPlacement
```

## Discussion

This is visible behind columns that are made translucent using the
`ContentBackgroundPlacement/navigation` placement. For expanded split
views, this container background is also visible between the columns as
the divider color.
