entry	general	editor	1	4	drag-and-drop-resources-in-scripts-to-preload-by-uid-instead-of-by-path	Drag and drop ``@[Resource](enginetype)``s in scripts to preload by UID instead of by path	With [Godot 4.4](/releases/4.4/#universal-uid-support), we extended UID support to more resource types in order to prevent broken paths. Scripts can now take advantage of this by preloading resources via their UID. You just have to drop the resource while holding `Ctrl` (`Cmd` on macOS). By using UIDs instead of paths for preloading, your scripts will be more resilient, wherever the resources you’re preloading are in your project.	name github Tomasz Chabora KoBeWi	https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/99094	/storage/releases/4.5/video/godot_drag-drop-resource.webm	/storage/releases/4.5/video/godot_drag-drop-resource.webp	bottom
