I would like to reduce the size of the boxes to drag and drop in my graded question to avoid the scrolling pannel on the right.
I can't find a way to reduce the margin, adjust the size of the boxes.
I tried to trick the system by creating a regular text box with the desired settings and using the format painter. It seems like it kind of works but does'nt once you preview the slide... =(
The height of the boxes in the matching question is set at a fixed size by default, but you can change the width by clicking and dragging.
On the other hand, a Freeform Drag-and-Drop interaction will give you the freedom to design the interaction any way you'd like. That might be the way to go, since you're looking for more customization options. ☺️
Thanks for the answer, i indeed opted for the free form drag & drop which gives me a much better design. But good to know that there is no way to adjust the boxes in the prebuilt question, I won't look for nothing !
The only drawback with the freeform drag & drop slide is that my boxes cannot be shuffled as in the prebuilt question. I'm sure there's a way to do it, I started to look it up but the result is not worth the effort to me (create a random number generator, assign a random number to each target box, direct the motion of answer boxes to a spot according to its number, ....).

Hi there Tim!
The freeform drag-and-drop interaction has a shuffle option, too! You can find it in the Question Tools Design tab.
I attached a quick sample file with shuffled answer choices. Feel free to use that file as a guide!
