# splitViewController(_:didHide:)

Tells the delegate that the system completed hiding the specified column.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func splitViewController(_ svc: UISplitViewController, didHide column: UISplitViewController.Column)
```

## Parameters

- `svc`: The split view controller whose column the system completed hiding.
- `column`: The column the system completed hiding. See doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UISplitViewController/Column for possible values.

## Discussion

Discussion This delegate method only applies to column-style split view interfaces. For more information, see Split view styles. The split view controller calls this method when the system completes hiding one of its columns; for example, when a person rotates the device. The system doesn’t call this method when you hide a column programmatically with hide(_:). Use this method to perform any updates after hiding the column. You can use the split view controller’s transitionCoordinator to coordinate any of your animations alongside the transition animation.
