Disable Drag and Drop

Turn off drag-and-drop for the roles you choose as a gentle nudge against moving images or text off the page—not foolproof, but enough for casual misuse.

Overview

Part of PowerSuite’s content-protection suite. Disables drag-and-drop on the front end for selected roles (and optionally visitors), with a toast message when blocked. File inputs still work; opt-out attributes exist for allowed drops. This is a gentle deterrent—not foolproof security, and not a substitute for accessibility or DRM. Shares the common protection JS stack with related modules.
