Drag and drop not working
Is there a limit to the amount of boxes and text you can have on a slide for a freeform drag and drop.
I create a drag and drop and it wont let me drag the items

Hey Charlotte,
Could you post the .story file so we can see what issues there might be?
Well - I don't want you or anyone to get in trouble, so let's try to figure out a different method to try and help you.
- Have you identified a drag items and paired it with a drop target?
- Could you explain a bit more about the interactivity - what do you want the learners to do?
Check these out - maybe they can help:
That strange that it fully works in a new module, but not your current one.
Could you just create a new slide within your current project?
I cannot view the images - but do these new drag items have an assigned drop target?
I have managed to recreate one drag and drop slide and got it working but now can not get this I have tried recreating about 5 times ☹
Hi Charlotte,
It looks like you are replying via e-mail, which is not allowing any attachments to populate here in the forums.
It does, however, populate your email signature. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.
With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
Hello There,
I created a simple drag and drop for one of my course, and I had given 2 attempt with a try again button. Also a trigger to navigate the try again button to the base layer along with the reset to initial stage. but its attempting more than 2 attempt and the procedure is repeating and so on....
Is there any solution for that?

DipuHi Dipu,
If you're willing to share your project file here we'll be glad to take a look at how you setup your slide to see why it's behaving that way. Alternatively, you can also open a support case here to get in touch with our support team.
The built-in Try Again button merely hides the feedback layer so the learner can make a second attempt. If you jump to the base layer and reset it, you will also reset the number of attempts. One way to make that work is to use a variable to keep track of the number of attempts, and jump to the incorrect layer when the Try Again layer opens if the maximum number of attempts has been reached.
Not only is that a lot of extra work, but showing the learner the errors, and letting them correct them (by dragging incorrect answers to correct spots) improves learning. You may or may not want to indicate which answers are incorrect.
However, if you are insistent on resetting the slide, I attached a sample project that does that near the end of this thread:
