Drop targets indicate where you can drag a particular module, placeholder, or object. If you drag an item over a node, that node appears orange to indicate whether you can drop it there.

A node turns orange when it is a drop target

If you drag an item above or below a node, a black line appears to indicate whether you can drop that item before or after the node.

A black line indicates a drop target

Dropping an item on a module node or the course node automatically appends that item to the bottom of the parent node’s hierarchy. This is helpful when adding many items after one another; instead of dragging each one to the bottom of a sizable hierarchy, you can simply drop items on the parent node.
