The **`view-transition-class`** [CSS](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS) property provides the selected elements with an identifying class (a {{cssxref("custom-ident")}}), providing an additional method of styling the view transitions for those elements.

### Values

- {{cssxref("custom-ident")}}
- : An identifying name that causes the selected element to participate in a separate [view transition](/en-US/docs/Web/API/View_Transition_API) from the root view transition. The identifier must be unique. If two rendered elements have the same `view-transition-name` at the same time, {{domxref("ViewTransition.ready")}} will reject and the transition will be skipped.
- : An identifying name that allows the element to be selected by view transition pseudo-elements in order to apply styles during the transition.

Suggested change
- : An identifying name that allows the element to be selected by view transition pseudo-elements in order to apply styles during the transition.
- : An identifying name used to select view transition pseudo-elements for styling. Unlike `view-transition-name`, a class does not need to be unique and does not cause the element to participate in a separate view transition group.

I would not only remove the factual mistake but double down on the fact.

- `none`
- : No class would apply to the named view transition pseudo-elements generated for this element.
