# passthroughViews

An array of views that the user can interact with while the popover is visible.

```
var passthroughViews: [UIView]? { get set }
```

## Discussion

When a popover is active, interactions with other views are normally disabled until the popover is dismissed. Assigning an array of views to this property allows taps outside of the popover to be handled by the corresponding views.
