# collectionView(_:didDeselectItemAt:)

Tells the delegate that the item at the specified path was deselected.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didDeselectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath)
```

## Parameters

- `collectionView`: The collection view object that is notifying you of the selection change.
- `indexPath`: The index path of the cell that was deselected.

## Discussion

Discussion The collection view calls this method when the user successfully deselects an item in the collection view. It does not call this method when you programmatically deselect items.
