====== Interactivity > Drag and Drop Labelling ======

This page presents an image which includes drop zones, and a number of labels which learners have to drag into the correct zone on the image. If a label is incorrectly placed it bounces back to its start position; when it is correctly placed it fixes in the drop zone, and (optionally) further information is displayed.

==== Further Information ====

:!: **From 3.14**, if a learner moves away from this page and then returns to it, the page state is maintained.  If a learner has dropped any items without submitting, these drops are maintained (and marked) when the learner returns to the page. Previously, if a learner left this page and returned to it, the page would have re-set.
