# WindowVisibilityToggle A specialized button for toggling the visibility of a window. ``` nonisolated struct WindowVisibilityToggle where Label : View ``` ## Overview This is most commonly used in the main menu, where it can toggle the visibility of `Window` and `UtilityWindow` windows. The default label uses the title of the window in the format of “Show ” and “Hide ” depending on the current visibility of the window. A keyboard shortcut can be assigned to this button. The below example demonstrates how a main menu can be constructed with visibility buttons, replacing the default commands added by `Window` and `Utility Window`: ``` struct PhotoEditor: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { PhotoEditor() } .commands { CommandGroup(before: .textFormatting) { Section { WindowVisibilityToggle(windowID: "formatting") .keyboardShortcut("t", modifiers: [.command, .shift]) // other custom/image formatting controls } } CommandGroup(before: .sidebar) { Section { WindowVisibilityToggle(windowID: "photo-library") // other controls for showing/hiding UI } } } UtilityWindow("Formatting Style", id: "formatting") { TextAndImageFormatForm() } .commandsRemoved() Window("Photo Library", id: "photo-library") { PhotoInfoViewer() } .commandsRemoved() } } ``` ## Topics ### Creating a window visibility toggle [`init(windowID: String)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/WindowVisibilityToggle/init(windowID:)) Create a window visibility toggle to alter the visibility of a specific window. ### Supporting types [`struct DefaultWindowVisibilityToggleLabel`](/documentation/SwiftUI/DefaultWindowVisibilityToggleLabel) The default label of a window visibility toggle. ## Relationships ### Conforms To [`View`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
