How do I rotate an object in a drag and drop exercise?
I am creating a drag and drop exercise and am having learners drag and drop labels to their respective components in an architecture diagram. One of the components is labeled vertically. I don't want it vertically in the items to drag/drop box because it will be a huge giveaway. I am trying to rotate it on "drop correct". I tried states and rotate is grayed out, so I couldn't do it there. I tried annimations, while rotate is on the animation page it doesn't have a star next to it so I don't think it is truely an annimation. It just changes the default position, not impated by timeline or trigger.
I'm new to Storyline and looking for an eLearning hero. Any ideas?

Thanks for this alternative. The challenge I had with the annimation was getting it to line up in the drop zone. I will give it a try and let you know if it works for me.
I tried all these suggestions and for whatever reason they did not work for me. I decided to try a different approach. Since I couldn't get the drag item to change, I added a disappearing animation for the drag object and modified the drop object to have the desired sideways text. Note, it did not work when I used the state "drop correct". I changed it to "Drag Over" and not only did it work, but it also only changes to that state if you drag the correct item over it. Win!
Thanks to @Walt and @Nedim for all your help.
