# openSettings

A Settings presentation action stored in a view’s environment.

## Declaration

```swift
var openSettings: OpenSettingsAction { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use the openSettings environment value to get an OpenSettingsAction instance for a given Environment. Then call the instance to open a window. You call the instance directly because it defines a callAsFunction() method that Swift calls when you call the instance. For example, you can define a button that opens the settings window to a particular tab: @main struct MyApp: App {     var body: some Scene {         WindowGroup {             ContentView()         }         #if os(macOS)         Settings {             SettingsView()         }         #endif     } }

struct SettingsView: View {     @AppStorage("selectedSettingsTab")     private var selectedSettingsTab = SettingsTab.general

var body: some View {         TabView(selection: $selectedSettingsTab) {             GeneralSettings()             AdvancedSettings()         }     } }

struct AdvancedSettingsButton: View {     @AppStorage("selectedSettingsTab")     private var selectedSettingsTab = SettingsTab.general

@Environment(\.openSettings) private var openSettings

var body: some View {         Button("Open Advanced Settings…") {             selectedSettingsTab = .advanced             openSettings()         }     } }

enum SettingsTab: Int {     case general     case advanced }
