# init(_:contentType:source:_:)

Creates and opens new URL-based documents from a template picker.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated init(_ label: Text? = nil, contentType: UTType, source: DocumentCreationSource, _ prepareDocumentURL: @escaping () async throws -> URL? = { nil })
```

## Parameters

- `label`: A label for the button.
- `contentType`: The content type of the document to create.
- `source`: A source for the document creation flow. When a document is created, you can retrieve its source from doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/FileDocumentConfiguration or doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/URLDocumentConfiguration.
