## Discussion

Discussion This text appears next to the Action Button to describe what your control does when activated. By default, a control’s action hint is derived from its display name, the type of control, and value text, if any: // Action Hint: “Hold for ‘Ping My Watch’” struct PingMyWatchButton: Control { static let displayName: LocalizedStringResource = “Ping My Watch” … } // When this button’s action conforms to OpenIntent: // Action Hint: “Hold to Open Notes” struct NotesLauncher: Control { static let displayName: LocalizedStringResource = “Notes” … } // Action Hint: “Hold to Turn On ‘Silent Mode’” / “Hold to Turn Off ‘Silent Mode’” struct SilentModeToggle: Control { static let displayName: LocalizedStringResource = “Silent Mode” … } // Action Hint: “Hold for Silent” / “Hold for Ring” ControlWidgetToggle(…) { isOn in Label( isOn ? “Silent” : “Ring”, systemImage: isOn ? “bell.slash” : “bell” ) } When the default action hint is insufficiently descriptive, you can customize the hint by applying this modifier to the control’s label. For instance, describe what a person uses a NotesLauncher control to do, “Compose a Note”, instead of the default “Hold to Open Notes” hint, like this: ControlWidgetButton(…) { Image(systemName: “note.text”) .controlWidgetActionHint(“Compose a Note”) }
