# up:layer:accepted

This event is emitted _after_ a layer was [accepted](https://unpoly.com/learn/closing-overlays.md).

The event is emitted on the [layer element](https://unpoly.com/api/up.layer.element.md) when the close animation is starting. If the layer has no close animation and was already removed from the DOM, the event is emitted a second time on the `document`.

> #### Tip

> To prevent a layer from being closed, listen to [`up:layer:accept`](https://unpoly.com/api/up:layer:accept.md) instead.
