# SWAttributionView

A view that displays the sender who shares a highlight and provides related actions.

```
class SWAttributionView
```

## Overview

The `SWAttributionView` also allows users to get back to the conversation about the [`SWHighlight`](/documentation/SharedWithYou/SWHighlight) content, and other related actions using a [`highlightMenu`](/documentation/SharedWithYou/SWAttributionView/highlightMenu).

Place an `SWAttributionView` next to the content represented by its `SWHighlight`. The `SWAttributionView` displays the names and avatars within the provided horizontal space.

You can constrain this view’s width anchor or set its frame width to control the maximum width of its contents after which truncation may occur. Don’t constrain the view’s height, as the height is dependent on the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/UIKit/UIApplication/preferredContentSizeCategory>, and the resulting font size. To provide enough vertical space around this view, reference its <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/UIKit/UIView/heightAnchor> when using Auto Layout, or its <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/UIKit/UIView/intrinsicContentSize> when using manual layout.
