Drag and Drops

I'm new to Storyline, and have inherited a project from another developer.
I came across some drag and drops that aren't working correctly. In these scenarios, a series of statements regarding the company's security policies appear. If the statement is correct, it gets dragged to a Correct box, and as you might guess, and incorrect statement gets dragged to an Incorrect box. The problem is that Incorrect statements can be successfully dragged to the Correct box. I'm sure it's something basic that needs to be adjusted, but of anyone has ideas I'd appreciate it!

Is the problem that they can be dropped in the wrong box, or that they are considered correct if they are?
Well, in other places in the module, you are actually unable to drag the Incorrect answer to the Correct box - the statement will bounce back to its original placement, so the learner has to drag it again. That's what also what I'd like to see happen in these instances.
Hi John,
That's a setting within your drag and drop set up - to only allow an item to be dropped in the correct drop target. You can read more about those settings here.
Hi John!
Sounds like you may just need to update your options:
That first option for the drag items options can be changed to return to start if dropped outside the correct drop target.
Read here for more information.
Thanks again for your quick responses. I've double checked the above steps, but to no avail. But, I'm going to step away from it for a few minutes and come at it again in with a (hopefully) clearer head. If I still can't figure it out I will reach out again.
Hi John,
If you're still having difficulty we'll want to take a look at the .story file - you can share just that one slide if you'd like to here using the "add attachment" button.
Great, thanks. Can I just reply in this thread if I have further questions?
Of course John - you can also start a new thread. Entirely up to you!
Hi Ashley - how would I go about just sharing one thread in an attachment?
Sorry - just one *slide* in an attachment?
If you wanted to share a single slide for someone to look at, I would import that slide into a new project perhaps.
