# UICollectionViewDropCoordinator

An interface for coordinating your custom drop-related actions with the collection view.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor protocol UICollectionViewDropCoordinator : NSObjectProtocol
```

## Mentioned in

Supporting Drag and Drop in Collection Views

## Overview

Overview You don’t create instances of this class yourself. When a drop occurs in the collection view, UIKit creates an instance of this class and passes it to your collectionView(_:performDropWith:) method. Use the object to let the collection view know how you want to animate the dropped items into position.
