Can anyone please tell me how I can add a three column drag and drop interaction to a slide? Ideally it would be a table layout rather than a drag and drop onto the column title. I would have about 10 different statements that the learner would need to sort into the correct column.
I've tried searching but can't see what I am looking for. Many thanks.
FYI: Based on your description, you'll need 3 drop targets: one for each column. If you set the options to "tile" the dropped objects, they will stack in the target. If you want to make it look like a table, you could make the targets transparent and put a blank table (or just something to make it look like a table) behind that.
Thanks Judy. I have done that. Now I want to get my sentences that need sorting into the drop zones to appear one by one at the bottom of the screen. I have gone into the drag and drop options and ticked the box, all my text boxes appear in the list, but they don't appear when I preview. What am I doing wrong?
It sounds like you're using the options correctly, so I can't say what's wrong.
I suggest you upload the .story file (or, at least, a copy with just the drag-and-drop slide that isn't working). That would make it easier for someone to troubleshoot.

Hi, Jo,
To get the look you want, create a freeform drag-and-drop. Here's more info:

Good luck!

Hi Jo! I'm happy to take a look if you're able to share the story file.
