# resolvedEntities()

Retrieves and returns the entity instances for each identifier in the collection.

## Declaration

```swift
func resolvedEntities() async throws -> [Entity]
```

## Return Value

Return Value An array of resolved entities.

## Discussion

Discussion note: An error if the entities cannot be resolved. Use this method to retrieve the AppEntity instances for each identifier in the collection. You might use this method in your perform() method when you need additional data from each entity. If the collection already has a cached set of entity instances, the method returns them. If there are no cached values, the method uses entity queries to request them from your app.
