# insert(_:)

Registers an object to be inserted in the context’s persistent store the next time changes are saved.

## Declaration

```swift
func insert(_ object: NSManagedObject)
```

## Parameters

- `object`: A managed object.

## Discussion

Discussion The managed object (object) is registered in the receiver with a temporary global ID. It is assigned a permanent global ID when changes are committed. If the current transaction is rolled back (for example, if the receiver is sent a rollback() message) before a save operation, the object is unregistered from the receiver.
