# targetContentIdentifier

The object that determines which scene handles the quick action.

```
var targetContentIdentifier: Any? { get }
```

## Discussion

UIKit applies the value in this property to the activation conditions defined by the [`UISceneActivationConditions`](/documentation/UIKit/UISceneActivationConditions) objects of the available scenes. Based on the predicates you specify, UIKit selects the most appropriate scene for handling the action.
