# allowsMoveOperation

A Boolean value that indicates whether the drag session permits moving drag items within the same app.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsMoveOperation: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion A move operation can be applied only within the same app. Drag items shared with another app are always copied. The allowsMoveOperation value is determined by the return value of the source app’s drag interaction delegate’s  dragInteraction(_:sessionAllowsMoveOperation:) method. If allowsMoveOperation is true, the source app’s drop interaction delegate’s dropInteraction(_:sessionDidUpdate:) method can return a drop proposal for a UIDropOperation.move operation.
