Drag and drop

In plain words: A Drag and Drop component in Lightning Web Components (LWC) allows users to click, grab, and move visual cards (such as tasks, leads, or opportunities) between different status columns or lists. By combining the native HTML5 Drag and Drop API with LWC reactive data arrays, you can build interactive Kanban boards and priority sorters that update Salesforce records in real time. Modern CRM users expect fluid, interactive interfaces to organize workloads quickly. Static picklist dropdowns and manual edit screens slow down sales reps and support agents when moving records through complex stages. Building a custom drag-and-drop experience in LWC allows teams to organize pipelines visually, reorder task queues, and trigger automated Apex DML updates or GraphQL mutations when cards are dropped.
