# Tip

A type that sets a tip’s content, as well as the conditions for when it displays.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol Tip : Identifiable, Sendable
```

## Overview

Overview Use this protocol for setting a tip’s content, as well as defining the conditions for when it appears in a view. You create custom tips by declaring types that conform to the Tip protocol. Set your tip’s content by giving it a title,  message,  image, and a list of actions. For example, to create a tip with a title, message, and image: struct FavoriteBackyardTip: Tip {     var title: Text {         Text("Save as a Favorite")     }

var message: Text? {         Text("Your favorite backyards always appear at the top of the list.")     }

var image: Image? {         Image(systemName: "star")     } } For a tip to be valid, you need to set its title. To control when a tip displays, pass instances of Rule and Option into the rules and options properties of the tip. After you define your tip’s content, display it in either a TipView or a popoverTip(_:arrowEdge:action:).
