# How do I use drag and drop to annotate?

With **Drag and Drop**, you can pick up images and text from another app and drop them straight into Scriptation to create a new annotation.

Here's how it works. Tap and hold an **image** or **text**, and — without lifting that finger — use a second finger to open Scriptation. In this example, we're dragging an image:

Release your finger to drop the image or text into Scriptation as a new annotation. All possible destinations are shown with a green **+**.

You can also use Drag and Drop while [multitasking](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/using-multitasking-for-split-view-and-slide-over-on-ipados-1cdjrr6/). Here, we're dragging text to create a Text Box:

Once inserted, adjust it with the [Style Palette](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/using-the-style-palette-inspector-1r35re7/), or create [Saved Annotations](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-saved-annotations-and-how-do-i-use-them-1rerp7z/) as needed.

|| 📝 NOTE: Drag and Drop is available on iOS 15 or later.
