# presentationSourceItem

The item you can use as an anchor for subsequent presentations.

## Declaration

```swift
var presentationSourceItem: (any UIPopoverPresentationControllerSourceItem)? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The system populates this property during the execution of the menu element’s action (its handler or selector). For example, for a menu element in a menu that presents from a UIButton, the system may populate this property with that button. Use this property to specify where to anchor popovers when a person taps the menu element, like in the following code. let share = UIAction(title: "Share") { [unowned self] action in     let shareVC = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: items, applicationActivities: activities)     shareVC.modalPresentationStyle = .popover     shareVC.popoverPresentationController?.sourceItem = action.presentationSourceItem     present(shareVC, animated: true) }
