# springLoadingUpdated(_:)

Returns whether to enable or disable spring-loading as a drag moves within the bounds of the spring-loading destination or `draggingInfo` changes during the drag.

```
@MainActor optional func springLoadingUpdated(_ draggingInfo: any NSDraggingInfo) -> NSSpringLoadingOptions
```

## Parameters

`draggingInfo`

An object of type `NSDraggingInfo`, which provides information about the drag event, including the dragged data.

## Return Value

A value of type `NSSpringLoadingOptions` to enable or disable spring-loading. A value of `NSSpringLoadingEnabled` enables typical spring-loading behavior.

## Discussion

This method is called periodically as a drag changes position within the bounds of a spring-loaded destination or the `draggingInfo` changes during the drag. It returns a value of type `NSSpringLoadingOptions` to enable or disable spring-loading for the destination. If this method is not implemented, then spring-loading is enabled or disabled for the destination based on the return value of the `springLoadingEntered:` method.

Note that you *must* implement either this method or [`springLoadingEntered(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSSpringLoadingDestination/springLoadingEntered(_:)) to enable spring-loading.
