Drag Drop turns your Anki cards into interactive drag-and-drop flashcards. Instead of only looking at an image or reading a question, you can actively recall the answer by dragging labels to the correct place or sorting items into the right categories.
It is especially useful for diagrams, anatomy, maps, charts, processes, illustrations, and category-based questions, but you can use it for many different subjects and types of study.
The add-on is designed to make visual learning and active recall more interactive while keeping the card simple and easy to use.

Two ways to use Drag & Drop
Image Labeling
Place labels on an image and create drop zones for the correct answers. This works well for anatomy, biology, geography, diagrams, charts, maps, objects, and other visual subjects.
Category Sorting
Create categories and drag answers into the correct category buckets. You can also add incorrect answers or distractors to make the exercise more challenging.

DragDrop is made for active recall. Instead of simply recognizing the answer on a card, you have to place, move, and sort the information yourself.
I created this add-on because I wanted a more visual and interactive way to study certain topics in Anki. I hope it can also be useful for other subjects and study methods.
If you use it in a way I didn't think of, or find something that could make it better, feel free to share it.
