Current state: The Drag and Drop feature in Modules disappears on next visit as soon as a Module contents is added. 

Proposal: Just do NOT let this valuable feature disappear, if there is already content on next visit of Modules page

Thanks for sharing this feedback. Could you provide details of the workflow you're following? I tried to replicate what you've described by adding a new module and then adding various pieces of content to it (first a file, then two assignments, a quiz, and a discussion); each time I did so, the Drag and Drop area remained visible.

@AndreMastmeyer Update: I've changed the status on this to Open for Conversation, as I now see the request is specific to the process that occurs after the instructor/designer has navigated away from the modules. Sorry for any confusion my initial reply might have caused!

Agreeing with the original poster.

As soon as any content (file, page, assignment) is added to a Module, and the Modules page is refreshed or reopened, the drag/drop space under that module disappears.

This is very frustrating for users expecting to use the drag and drop workflow. Adding files via the (+) icon is not as convenient and we hear faculty complaints about this.

I agree.  The drag/drop space under that module disappears after I have uploaded my files. I am not able to drag in more files or make changes.

We have noticed this as well. Hopefully there is progress on what triggers the drag and drop to no longer be accessible in modules.
