# draggingPasteboard

The pasteboard object that holds the dragged data.

```
@MainActor var draggingPasteboard: NSPasteboard { get }
```

## Discussion

The dragging operation that is ultimately performed utilizes this pasteboard data and not the image returned by the [`draggedImage`](/documentation/AppKit/NSDraggingInfo/draggedImage) method.
