# UIWindowScene.ActivationAction

A menu element that requests a window scene.

```
class ActivationAction
```

## Overview

Create a [`UIWindowScene.ActivationAction`](/documentation/UIKit/UIWindowScene/ActivationAction) object to facilitate activating a new window scene from a menu item. You initialize the action with a closure that the system executes when a user selects the item. The closure should return a [`UIWindowScene.ActivationConfiguration`](/documentation/UIKit/UIWindowScene/ActivationConfiguration) object. You can specify an alternate action to display on iPhone and apps that don’t support multiple windows.
