# isMenuVisible

The visibility of the editing menu.

```
var isMenuVisible: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Setting this property displays or hides the menu immediately, without animation. For animating the showing or hiding of the menu, use the [`setMenuVisible(_:animated:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIMenuController/setMenuVisible(_:animated:)) method. Before showing the menu, be sure to position it relative to the selection.
