Resizing Matching Drag and Drop boxes - Storyline
Hi, I've been reading through the community to find a way to resize Matching Drag and Drop boxes, as Jeanette demonstrated for Quizmaker slides.
I have a slide with boxes that are all the same size, but the fonts are all wacky sizes because some boxes have more content than others - and I'd like to size the boxes to be big enough to fit the largest content - and the fonts to be the same across the board.
Reading different sized fonts on the same slide (and across the entire CBT course) is very hard on eyes. I'd like to make it easier on the poor learners.
Can't find information to resize boxes (and ergo fonts). Can it be done? How?

Hi, I was looking for this as well. If you could change this, it would be really helpful! Changing the size of the drop items. Thanks!
Hello Veronique and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Thank you for reaching out and sharing that you would like to see this feature as well. This conversation is attached to a feature request shared with our team.
The matching drag and drop shapes and text are set automatically to keep it consistent across answers. Have you considered using a freeform drag & drop interaction? It'll allow for more flexibility in the design!
Hello Leslie,
Indeed I made a freeform drag and drop, but it there was one thing I couldn't fix and that is the case with the normal drag and drop :

When I drag and drop an orange icon to the blue one, it's possible that the orange is above an other orange.
In the drag and drop "template" when there is one that covers another, the other one will be automatically replaced.Hope you understand me?
Kind regards,
Veronique Hofman

It doesn't look like the image was attached to your reply. Would you mind attaching the image to this discussion instead?
I'm having similar issues, but maybe worse? One of my three options expanded on it's own and I can't figure out how to expand the rest... The answer on the right of the last one is expanding and collapsing randomly. I'd also like to change the color, but that doesn't seem to be an option either.
Hi Christa!
Thank you for providing a screenshot! I'd like our team to take a look at the .story file so we can suggest workarounds. Would you mind uploading it privately to our team in a support case? We'll let you know as soon as we receive it.
Hi Lauren, the image was send in a mail. Now I have add it here. (is it possible you remove my signature in the post here above please? )
Hello Veronique,
Did you open a support case with our team via the link that Lauren shared above? You can edit your reply above by logging in to that account. It looks like you have two different profiles, which is probably why you do not see the option to edit.
I'm not clear on which email you'd prefer to use, so I've not opened a support case on your behalf.
Maybe my version might work better for some? (at least it's a different look).

Height and width can be changed to fit text, but be mindful of the puzzle parts fitting each other nicely.Many thanks Peter! Appreciate your sharing. You just saved me a lot of time:)
Peter, thank you so much for sharing your "matching" format. I agree with Hallie: "You just saved me a lot of time!"
