# NSWritingToolsCoordinator.State.inactive

A state that indicates Writing Tools isn’t currently performing any work on your view’s content.

## Declaration

```swift
case inactive
```

## Mentioned in

Adding Writing Tools support to a custom AppKit view

## Discussion

Discussion The coordinator starts in the inactive state, and transitions immediately to the NSWritingToolsCoordinator.State.noninteractive or NSWritingToolsCoordinator.State.interactiveResting state when someone chooses an option from the Writing Tools UI. After the coordinator finishes incorporating any changes for the current operation, it returns to the inactive state and waits for the person to choose a different option or dismiss the Writing Tools UI.
