# NSDocument.ChangeType.changeReadOtherContents

The document has been initialized with the contents of a file or file package other than the one whose location is in the fileURL property, and therefore can’t possibly be synchronized with its persistent representation.

## Declaration

```swift
case changeReadOtherContents
```

## Discussion

Discussion For example, init(for:withContentsOf:ofType:) passes this value when the two passed-in URLs are not equal to indicate that an autosaved document is being reopened.
