## Discussion

Discussion Spring loading refers to a view being activated during a drag and drop interaction. On iOS this can occur when pausing briefly on top of a view with dragged content. On macOS this can occur with similar brief pauses or on pressure-sensitive systems by “force clicking” during the drag. This has no effect on tvOS or watchOS. This is commonly used with views that have a navigation or presentation effect, allowing the destination to be revealed without pausing the drag interaction. For example, a button that reveals a list of folders that a dragged item can be dropped onto. Unlike disabled(_:), this modifier overrides the value set by an ancestor view rather than being unioned with it. For example, the tab below would allow spring loading: TabView {     Tab("Favorites", systemImage: "star") {         MyFavoritesView()     }     .springLoadingBehavior(.enabled)

... } .springLoadingBehavior(.disabled)
