## Discussion

Discussion note: This function must be called before tips display in your app. Call this function during app initialization. By default, all tips persist to a default location with a display frequency of immediate. @main struct SampleApp: App {     init() {         do {             // Configure tips in the app.             try Tips.configure()         }         catch {             // Handle TipKit errors             print("Error initializing TipKit \(error.localizedDescription)")         }     } } To change the default location of where your tips persist use the convenience method datastoreLocation(_:). To change the display frequency use the convenience method displayFrequency(_:). do {     // Configure tips in the app.     try Tips.configure([         .datastoreLocation(.groupContainer(identifier: "MyGroupContainer")),         .displayFrequency(.hourly)     ]) } catch {     // Handle TipKit errors     print("Error initializing TipKit \(error.localizedDescription)") }
