# UICollectionViewDropProposal

Your proposed solution for handling a drop in a collection view.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor class UICollectionViewDropProposal
```

## Mentioned in

Supporting Drag and Drop in Collection Views

## Overview

Overview Create instances of this class in the collectionView(_:dropSessionDidUpdate:withDestinationIndexPath:) method of your drop delegate object. You create drop proposals to let the collection view know how you intend to handle a drop at the currently specified location. The collection view uses that information to provide appropriate visual feedback to the user.
