  2. The dialog title is Choose a layout. The field says Search layouts…
  3. Choose Interactive Question Slide.
  4. If the question should sit next to an image, choose Interactive Question Slide with Image instead.
  5. If you do not see that layout, choose Show all layouts. Under that card you see Browse everything in a dedicated view.
  6. The slide is added. On it you see Click to add question and Insert interactive question here.
  7. Click Click to add question. The Questions panel opens. Its title is Interactive questions.

Then follow the steps below to add this question type.

Steps

  1. Open the presentation in the editor.
  2. Choose Questions. A panel opens. Its title is Interactive questions.
  3. Open On image, then choose Drag and drop.
  4. It appears on the slide you are on. You do not press Save.
  5. Click the question on the slide. It starts as Ask your question here... Type your own question.
  6. Open Image and add the picture. Then open Items. The line says Each item is a label. Drag its box on the image to the matching area. Place each box on the area it belongs to. You can add up to 12 items.

What you see

The image sits on the slide with the items. When you present live, you see where people dropped them.

What participants do

On their own device, they drag each item onto the area where it belongs.

When to use it

Use Drag and drop when the place is the answer. A category on a diagram, a step on a picture, an object in the right zone.

A drop in the wrong zone shows how someone reads that category.

Settings

Under Show answers, a new Drag and drop question uses Show answers after a click. The result stays hidden until you click. Switch to Show answers immediately if you want it to appear while people are still answering.

Time limit is off. People can answer for as long as the question stays open. Turn it on to close answers after 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes.

Participants can edit their answers is on. A person can change what they already sent. Turn it off if you want the first answer to stay.

If it does not work

A slide can hold one interactive question. If it already has one, you see One question per slide. The message says Only one interactive question per slide is allowed. Choose Cancel to stay on this slide, or Add to new slide to place the Drag and drop question on a new slide.
