# endCustomizing(animated:)

Dismisses the standard interface used to customize the tab bar.

```
func endCustomizing(animated: Bool) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

`animated`

If <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, animate the dismissal of the interface.

## Return Value

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if items on the tab bar changed or <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> if they did not.

## Discussion

You rarely need to call this method. Typically, the user dismisses the modal view by tapping the built-in Done button in the interface. However, you might call this method to cancel the customization process because of changes to other parts of your interface.
