Configures the default visibility of a tab in customizable contexts.

## Declaration

```swift

```

## Parameters

- `visibility`: The tab’s visibility.
- `placements`: The locations to apply the visibility.

## Discussion

Discussion The sidebarAdaptable style supports customization of the tab bar and sidebar on iPad. To enable customization, attach a TabViewCustomization to the TabView using tabViewCustomization(_:). This modifier has no effect on other platforms or on a TabViewStyle that doesn’t support customization. note: Tabs in the sidebar represent all of the of tabs in TabView. A tab that’s hidden from the sidebar is also hidden from the top bar. The following example shows a TabView with three tabs, one of which is hidden by default in the sidebar. @AppStorage("MyAppTabViewCustomization") private var customization: TabViewCustomization

TabView(selection: $selection) {     Tab("Home", systemImage: "house", value: MyTab.home) {         MyHomeView()     }     .customizationID("com.myApp.home")

Tab("Reports", systemImage: "chart.bar", value: MyTab.reports) {         MyReportsView()     }     .customizationID("com.myApp.reports")

Tab("Browse", systemImage: "list.bullet", value: MyTab.browse) {         MyBrowseView()     }     .customizationID("com.myApp.browse")     .defaultVisibility(.hidden, for: .sidebar) } .tabViewStyle(.sidebarAdaptable) .tabViewCustomization($customization)
