# UIActivityItemsConfigurationProviding

An interface that provides a source for shareable content to fulfill user requests to share current content.

```
protocol UIActivityItemsConfigurationProviding : NSObjectProtocol
```

## Overview

The user can share content from your app in a number of ways:

- Ask Siri to “share this” on an iOS device.
- Click an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AppKit/NSSharingServicePickerToolbarItem> in the toolbar of an app built with Mac Catalyst.
- Start a [`UIContextMenuInteraction`](/documentation/UIKit/UIContextMenuInteraction) by using Force Touch or a long press gesture.

When one of these interactions happens, the system asks your view controller for content to share. Supply multiple representations of the current content, such as a file, image, and URL.
