### What are the image specifications for the Drag + Drop activity cards?

Each card should be portrait and be at least 420x588px big or at a higher ratio (.svg, .jpg or .png format). You may also upload a card that represents the drop area where the correct card must be dropped.

### The incorrect card is being selected in the Drag + Drop activity

**The first card that you upload will always be the correct one.** If there is an issue, re-upload all cards, making sure that the first one you load is the correct one. When presented to the user, the cards will automatically be shuffled.

### Add a Drag + Drop Activity Guide

Add an [Activity Guide](https://everyday-digital.gitbook.io/authoring-docs/content-pages/content-page-library/activity-guide) before the Drag & Drop page to help users understand how to complete the drag & drop activity.
