Drag and Drop Pairs Interaction
The drag and drop pairs interaction is a content block that allows you to create pairs of objects that the user has to match by dragging one half of the pair to the other. This interaction is very similar to drag and drop matching, but is laid our differently. This pairs interaction places greater restrictions on how much text can be used in the draggable and static items.
The bottom pane in the interaction will contain one half of each pair. These items are static and cannot be dragged. The top pane contains the draggable items that will need to be dragged by the user from top to bottom to make pairs.
A drag and drop pairs interaction looks as follows:
