# UICellAccessory

An accessory in a collection view list cell.

## Declaration

```swift
struct UICellAccessory
```

## Overview

Overview A cell accessory is a visual element that you can add to a list cell (UICollectionViewListCell). You use a cell accessory as a visual indicator or to let a user perform a cell-specific action like selecting, reordering, or deleting the cell. A cell accessory appears either on the leading or the trailing edge of a cell, outside of the cell’s content view. UIKit defines a set of standard system cell accessories. System accessories have default system-defined appearances, but you can make some customizations to them, like setting a custom tint color. You can’t customize the placement of system accessories. If you want additional customization, you can create a custom accessory with customView(configuration:). You add accessories to a list cell by setting its accessories array. cell.accessories = [      .checkmark(),      .disclosureIndicator(options: .init(tintColor: .systemGray)),      .delete(),     .reorder()  ] important: The system throws an exception if you include more than one instance of any system accessory. You can include multiple custom accessories.
