# recentDocumentsContentTypes

Content types for browsing recent documents.

```
var recentDocumentsContentTypes: [String] { get }
```

## Discussion

The default list is the same as the list of content types provided to the initializer, or the types defined in <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/CFBundleDocumentTypes> in the app’s `Info.plist` file.

You can define a subset of these types using the key `UIDocumentBrowserRecentDocumentContentTypes` in the app’s `Info.plist` file.
