#### WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

When we drag a object into a page (or note) in a widget, the object is moved to the target page.  
When we drag a object into a collection in a widget, it doesn’t work, nothing happens.  
These objects must be move and present in the targeted collection.

#### HOW COULD IT BE DONE?

Dropping on a collection (as a widget in its own right or as a child of another widget’s list) move the object to the collection.

#### REAL WORLD USE CASES

I have a widget that displays my collections.  
While browsing Anytype, I see images/files/objects that I’d like to place in a collection. It’s easy, I just drag it in and it’s done! Great, isn’t it?

Perhaps now is a good time to revisit this request, if widgets could more easily accept drag and drop (be sure to include an undo function, which does not work when dragging and dropping within a page in a widget…).
