# collectionView(_:didUnhighlightItemAt:)

Tells the delegate that the highlight was removed from the item at the specified index path.

## Declaration

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

## Parameters

- `collectionView`: The collection view object that is notifying you of the highlight change.
- `indexPath`: The index path of the cell that had its highlight removed.

## Discussion

Discussion The collection view calls this method only in response to user interactions and does not call it if you programmatically change the highlighting on a cell.
