# DocumentCreationSource

Describes the source used to create a new document.

## Declaration

```swift
struct DocumentCreationSource
```

## Overview

Overview On iOS, you can declare custom creation sources and use them in NewDocumentButton. extension DocumentCreationSource {     static let scanner: Self =         DocumentCreationSource(id: "document-from-scanner")

static let template: Self =         DocumentCreationSource(id: "document-from-template") }

DocumentGroupLaunchScene("Documents") {     NewDocumentButton("Scan Document", source: .scanner)     NewDocumentButton("New from Template", source: .template) } When a document is created, you can retrieve its source from URLDocumentConfiguration or FileDocumentConfiguration: DocumentGroup(newDocument: { MyDocument() }) { configuration in     if configuration.creationSource == .template {         TemplateSetupView()     } }
