# automatic

The default menu style, based on the menu’s context.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency static var automatic: DefaultMenuStyle { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default menu style can vary by platform. By default, macOS uses the bordered button style. If you create a menu inside a container, the style resolves to the recommended style for menus inside that container for that specific platform. For example, a menu nested within another menu will resolve to a submenu: Menu("Edit") {     Menu("Arrange") {         Button("Bring to Front", action: moveSelectionToFront)         Button("Send to Back", action: moveSelectionToBack)     }     Button("Delete", action: deleteSelection) } You can override a menu’s style. To apply the default style to a menu, or to a view that contains a menu, use the menuStyle(_:) modifier.
