# NavigationView A view for presenting a stack of views that represents a visible path in a navigation hierarchy. ``` nonisolated struct NavigationView where Content : View ``` ## Overview Use a `NavigationView` to create a navigation-based app in which the user can traverse a collection of views. Users navigate to a destination view by selecting a [`NavigationLink`](/documentation/SwiftUI/NavigationLink) that you provide. On iPadOS and macOS, the destination content appears in the next column. Other platforms push a new view onto the stack, and enable removing items from the stack with platform-specific controls, like a Back button or a swipe gesture.  Use the [`init(content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/NavigationView/init(content:)) initializer to create a navigation view that directly associates navigation links and their destination views: ``` NavigationView { List(model.notes) { note in NavigationLink(note.title, destination: NoteEditor(id: note.id)) } Text("Select a Note") } ``` Style a navigation view by modifying it with the [`navigationViewStyle(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/navigationViewStyle(_:)) view modifier. Use other modifiers, like [`navigationTitle(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/navigationTitle(_:)-avgj), on views presented by the navigation view to customize the navigation interface for the presented view. ## Topics ### Creating a navigation view [`init(content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/NavigationView/init(content:)) Creates a destination-based navigation view. ### Styling navigation views [`navigationViewStyle(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/navigationViewStyle(_:)) Sets the style for navigation views within this view.
