# detachedViews

An array that contains the detached views from all the stack view’s gravity areas.

## Declaration

```swift
var detachedViews: [NSView] { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion A view in a detached state is not present in the stack view’s view hierarchy, but it still consumes memory. note: There is no guaranteed ordering of the views in the detached views array.
