# allowsDocumentCreation

A Boolean value that determines whether the document browser can create new documents.

## Declaration

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

## Mentioned in

Customizing the document browser

## Discussion

Discussion The browser creates new documents when the user taps the Add (+) button in the navigation bar. The Add button is enabled only if both the allowsDocumentCreation property is set to true, and the browser delegate implements the documentBrowser(_:didRequestDocumentCreationWithHandler:) method. By default, this property is set to true.
