Bounding box: Upon click & hold a
--pf-v6-global--active-color--100
border will show the draggable area that is available.onDrag event: The list item being dragged will also use a
--pf-v6-global--active-color--100
border to highlight it as the item being dragged and all other list items will switch to a disabled state. The space where the item is being dragged from will remain empty to indicate its original position in the list.

- postDrag event: Once dropped, the items will be reordered based on the user’s action. The space left empty is then filled by the next item in the list.

- Error state: If the list item is dragged outside the bounding box the borders on the dragged item will switch to
--pf-v6-global--danger-color--100
and the cursor will change tonot-allowed
to indicate an invalid placement. If the user releases the cursor outside the bounding area the dragged item will return to its default position.

Multiple lists
