# isSidebarDestination

Determines if the tab group itself can be selected as a destination in the sidebar.

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

## Discussion

By default, tab groups are not destinations when displayed in the sidebar, and cannot be selected directly
by users. When enabled, the tab group becomes a selectable item in the sidebar, and will no longer perform
automatic selection for a default child if no child is currently selected. The default value is NO.
