# placeholderForCreatedAsset

A placeholder object for the asset that the change request creates.

## Declaration

```swift
var placeholderForCreatedAsset: PHObjectPlaceholder? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this property if you need to reference the asset created by a change request within the same change block. For example, the following code, when included in a photo library change block, creates an asset and then adds it to a collection. For details on change blocks, see PHPhotoLibrary.
