 | Introductory Text | Content that appears in the left panel on the page, unless Panel Width is set to //Full// (see below). | Text+ (Toolbar) | Use this to give the context or instructions for the task.  Other content (e.g. images, audio, video) can be embedded here. |
 | Gap Fill Text | Text including gaps to be filled | Text+ (Toolbar) | Text with "missing words" marked up with delimiters.  Mark-up for Drag Drop and Fill in Blank is identical.  For Drop Down Menu, all options need to be added for each gap, with correct answer as the first item.  |

+| Interactivity | Choose Gap Fill format here {**Drag Drop**/Fill in Blank/Drop Down Menu}  | Drop-down | :!: **New in 3.13**. When the default **Drag Drop** format is active, two additional options (**Gap Appearance** and **Gap Width**) are visible. See below for more information.  These options are __not__ visible when the either of the Fill in Blank or Drop Down Menu options have been selected.  |
 | Feedback | Feedback revealed after hitting //Check //button | Text+ (Toolbar) |   |
 | Panel width | Dimension of the right panel (gapped text). Choose from {Small/**Medium**/Large/Full}.  //Full// puts the Introductory Text above the gapped text. | Drop-down | For Drag Drop, it may be better to use //Large //or //Full //so that all the draggable objects and the drop zones can be seen without scrolling or zooming.  |
+| Gap Appearance (only for Drag Drop) | {**Background Colour**/Outline/Underline}**Keep When Filled** allows you to retain the gap appearance after the gap has been filled. | Drop-downTick Box | :!: **New in 3.13**.This determines the appearance of the gap - experiment with these to decide which you prefer. |
+| Gap Width (only for Drag Drop) | {**Longest Text**/Correct Text/Compressed/Bespoke}.  **Compress When Filled** | Drop-downTick Box | :!: **New in 3.13**.  The **Compressed **option sets all the gaps at 5 pixels, and the gaps expand when longer words are dropped in. The **Correct Text **option may give learners clues guiding them to the correct answer, if the draggable items are words of different lengths.**Compress When Filled** is only available when you also choose the **Longest Text** gap width. This makes the text look more natural before checking. |

 For **Drag Drop**, the width of the draggable objects and the drop zones, and in the case of **Fill in Blank** the width of the text entry boxes is determined by the length of the biggest gap on the page.  The page will look better if all the gaps are within a fairly narrow range of total characters.
