# isHighlighted

The highlight state of the cell.

## Declaration

```swift
var isHighlighted: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property manages the highlight state of the cell only. The default value of this property is false, which indicates that the cell isn’t in a highlighted state. You typically don’t set the value of this property directly. Instead, the preferred way to select the cell and highlight it’s to use the selection methods of the collection view object.
