# dismissTemplate(animated:completion:)

Dismisses a modal template.

## Declaration

```swift
func dismissTemplate(animated: Bool, completion: ((Bool, (any Error)?) -> Void)? = nil)
```

```swift
func dismissTemplate(animated: Bool) async throws -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `animated`: If doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true, CarPlay animates the dismissal of the template.
- `completion`: The closure CarPlay calls after it dismisses the template.

## Discussion

Discussion important: You can call this method from synchronous code using a completion handler, as shown on this page, or you can call it as an asynchronous method that has the following declaration: func dismissTemplate(animated: Bool) async throws -> Bool For information about concurrency and asynchronous code in Swift, see Calling Objective-C APIs Asynchronously. CarPlay calls completion after it dismisses the template. The Boolean parameter is true when the dismissal succeeds; otherwise, it’s false and CarPlay provides an error that describes the failure. CarPlay throws an exception if the dismissal fails and you don’t provide a closure.
