# automaticallyUpdatesContentConfiguration

A Boolean value that determines whether the view automatically updates its content configuration when its state changes.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion When this value is true, the cell automatically calls updated(for:) on its contentConfiguration when the view’s configurationState changes, and applies the updated configuration back to the view. The default value is true. If you override updateConfiguration(using:) to manually update and customize the content configuration, disable automatic updates by setting this property to false.
