You're very welcome Greg, thanks for leaving a thoughtful and detailed comment. I'm sure others in the community share the same very thought that you did and also didn't know about the drag-and-drop states. They are a little known feature. You might want to stay tuned because this article was actually just 1 in a series of 4 articles I'm writing all about Storyline drag-and-drops. I'm also going to dive deeper into Freeform slides and how to use & customize them (including mentioning the drag-and-drop states) and I will also have a few other articles that explore other drag-and-drop features and also general design tips for creating d-and-ds.  And thanks for letting me know about the typo in the URL ! Fixed it :)
