I'm using the notes drag n drop interaction. When the user drops the note on the file cabinet or trash can I don't want the note to stay there. How do I move where the note shows up on the correct/incorrect state? I tried moving them when you go into edit states, but that didn't work. I'm sure it's something easy! Thanks
Sounds like you're looking to edit the Drag and Drop options. From the slide that contains your Drag and Drop, there should be a button above your trigger panel called Edit Drag and Drop. Click that, and you should be able to edit your drop target options.
In the Drag and Drop edit window, the Drag item options will allow you to return an incorrect item to its start point if dropped outside the correct target, but there isn't an option to return a correctly dropped item to its original position. As for the check or X to determine the correct / incorrect drop, I'm not sure there's a built-in feature that would allow you to do this, but it may be possible through variables and shapes.
By the way, if you wanted the dropped objects to stay where they were dropped and show a check of an "X" you could have used the buit-in states "Drop correct" and "Drop incorrect".
Hi Brandy - Another way to reset your drag objects is to use variables and slide reset options. This is not an ideal way, but it gives you a lot of control over the placement and resetting of objects.

Is that what you're looking for?
Hi Peter,
The note still stays on the drop target. It won't let me edit where the note shows for the correct/incorrect answer.
Hey Brandy,
What exactly would you like to happen to the notes after they have been dropped? Snap to a certain place? Disappear?
I want them to return to the original position with a check or an x (which will let them know if they got it right or not).

Hi Brandy,
I found a way to do something that could maybe work for you.
In preview, test the oval. It is not coming back to the original position but I make a new one appear at the same place (or about).
Also, the check mark and the "X" have been added to custom states for the appearing shape.
Hope it helps and have a nice day!
Annie
Awesome, thanks Annie!

Thank you Annie. That will work!

Hi Brandy, this thread might help too ... a little too late, though!

Using "Change States" your notes will disappear as sson they are dropped on the drop target.
