## Return Value

## Discussion

Discussion Applying the draggable(_:) modifier adds the appropriate gestures for drag and drop to this view. When a drag operation begins, a rendering of this view is generated and used as the preview image. To customize the default preview, apply a contentShape(_:_:eoFill:) with a dragPreview kind. For example, you can change the preview’s corner radius or use a nested view as the preview.
