# actions

Custom actions associated with a section.

## Declaration

```swift
var actions: SectionConfiguration.Actions { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property provides programmatic access to the actions defined on a Section. If no actions were specified, the collection will be empty. The following MailboxView will put actions into an overflow menu if there are too many to display inline. struct MailboxView<Content: View>: View {     var content: Content

init(@ContentBuilder content: () -> Content) {         self.content = content()     }

var body: some View {         ForEach(sections: content) { section in             HStack {                 section.header                 Spacer()                 Group(subviews: section.actions) { actions in                     if actions.count > 2 {                         actions[0]                         // Place the extras in an overflow menu.                         Menu("Actions", systemImage: "plus") {                             actions[1...]                         }                     } else {                         actions                     }                 }             }             section.content         }     } } You can then use actions in MailboxView without considering overflow. MailboxView {     Section("iCloud") {         Label("Receipts", systemImage: "folder")         Label("Mailing Lists", systemImage: "folder")     }     .sectionActions {         Button("New", systemImage: "folder.badge.plus") {}         Button("Edit", systemImage: "folder.badge.gearshape") {}         Button("Delete", systemImage: "folder.badge.minus") {}     } }
