Matching Drag and Drop shape
Can we please get the left and right notched rectangles in the standard Shapes gallery so that we can make our own Freeform slides with these elements.

Hello HoneyTurner​,
Thanks for sharing your voice with us. I have shared your insight with our product team. We'll be sure to share any news on future updates in this thread, so everyone is in the loop!
In the meantime, I'd like to share a possible workaround using the Merge Shapes feature.
- Go to the Insert tab and add a basic rectangle shape to your slide.
- Add another shape (like a triangle or smaller rectangle) that will serve as the "notch/ cut out."
- Select both shapes by holding down Shift and clicking each one.
- Go to the Format tab and look for the Merge Shapes option.
- Choose a merge operation (such as Subtract and Union) to cut the notch shape out of your rectangle or add on to the rectangle.
Here's a closer look at this in action for your reference.
Have a great afternoon!
Thanks!
I have already started merging shapes, though not for this use. Great addition!!For the DIY matching drag and drop I have been using the Pentagon and Chevron, but they're hard to make precisely matching angles (making them numeric values like rounded corners would be a great next step!). I'll try using a merged shape next time. It may be faster and more precise.
Is there any chance that we'll see Matching Drag and Drop as one of the Freeform options in the future? It's a lot of work to replicate this from scratch.
Hello HoneyTurner,
I'm glad you've used the Merge Shapes feature in your Storyline 360 projects. Feel free to share what you've created so far in case others in the community have done similar!
That's right, the Matching Drag-and-Drop question type is not currently available in our Freeform Question types in Storyline. I've shared your voice with our product team. We'll share any future updates in this thread so everyone is aware.
