# Navigation

Enable people to move between different parts of your app’s view hierarchy within a scene.

## Overview

Overview Use navigation containers to provide structure to your app’s user interface, enabling people to easily move among the parts of your app.

For example, people can move forward and backward through a stack of views using a NavigationStack, or choose which view to display from a tab bar using a TabView. Configure navigation containers by adding view modifiers like navigationSplitViewStyle(_:) to the container. Use other modifiers on the views inside the container to affect the container’s behavior when showing that view. For example, you can use navigationTitle(_:) on a view to provide a toolbar title to display when showing that view.
