# UINavigationItem.ItemStyle

Constants that determine how the content of the navigation item lays out in the navigation bar.

```
enum ItemStyle

## Overview

Navigation styles allow you to customize the behavior and content density of your navigation bar according to your app type.

- Navigator apps like Settings support a traditional navigation model for hierarchical data.
- Browser apps like Safari or Files support browsing through and navigating back and forth between multiple documents or folder structures.
- Editor apps support focused viewing or editing of individual documents.
