# canOverlapSourceViewRect

A Boolean value indicating whether the popover can overlap its view rectangle.

```
var canOverlapSourceViewRect: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Setting this property to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> allows the popover to overlap the rectangle in the [`sourceRect`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPopoverPresentationController/sourceRect) property when space is constrained. The default value of this property is false, which prevents the popover from overlapping the source rectangle.
