# ViewDocumentDraggingEvent

typedef

Fired as a continuation of the [event-dragover](module_engine_view_document-ViewDocument.md#event-dragover) event.

It is a part of the [clipboard input pipeline](../framework/deep-dive/clipboard.md#input-pipeline).

This event carries a `dataTransfer` object which comes from the clipboard and whose content should be processed and inserted into the editor.

**Note**: This event is not available by default. To make it available, [`ClipboardObserver`](module_clipboard_clipboardobserver-ClipboardObserver.md) needs to be added to the [`ViewDocument`](module_engine_view_document-ViewDocument.md) by using the [`addObserver`](module_engine_view_view-EditingView.md#function-addObserver) method. This is usually done by the [`Clipboard`](module_clipboard_clipboard-Clipboard.md) plugin, but if for some reason it is not loaded, the observer must be added manually.
