# canStepForward

A Boolean value that indicates whether the item supports stepping forward.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated var canStepForward: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Once the item becomes ready to play, the value of this property does not change. This behavior applies even when boundary conditions, such as when the item’s current time is equal to its end time, have been reached.
