# observedProgress

The progress object to use for updating the progress view.

```
var observedProgress: Progress? { get set }
```

## Discussion

When this property is set, the progress view updates its progress value automatically using information it receives from the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/Progress> object. (Progress updates are animated.) Set the property to `nil` when you want to update the progress manually. The default value of this property is `nil`.

For more information about configuring a progress object to manage progress information, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/Progress>.
