When editing a matching Drag & Drop question, is there any way to set the answers to "Shuffle" yet disallow one occurrence - namely the result where "Matches" are horizontally across from their corresponding "Choices"? I've been informed by our UAT testers that this results in a less-than-staisfactory experience.
Try using the free form drag and drop option instead of the built in drag and drop quiz question. Using the free form option you can set up your drag and drop questions to look any way you want. And you can set the answers to shuffle.
I am using a freeform drag and drop, selected the shuffle answers options, to no avail, the answers appear in the same order.. I will greatly appreciate you assistance. Please take a look at the attached file - what is the correct approach
Hi Cleon, the shuffle feature does not work when you have the drag and drop set to reveal 1 answer at a time. They will always display in the Drag item sequence (you can see and change the sequence by clicking the ... next to the option.
If you want the drag items to shuffle you have to turn this option off.
Hi Cleon, I am just an Articulate user just like you so I don't have any idea what plans are in store for future development. It would be nice if random worked on the reveal 1 answer.

Thanks Nancy! I like that suggestion as a workaround. I'll set my questions up in a non-linear layout to avoid the situation altogether.

Cleon,
It looks like Nancy has you covered here, but please let us know if you have additional questions.
Thanks Nancy,
What's in Articulate development plant to have both random and reveal 1
answer? Some time soon to have the best of both worlds?
