Can't drag and drop from pallettes (Windows 10, MS v3.2.2.7534)
I am working using my laptop, a Dell XPS 13. When I try to use anything from either the custom or the master pallette, it won't let me drag and drop like it does on my desktop at home. It lets me drag the item, but displays a don't sign instead of the normal cursor, and I can't put it onto any note.
I am using the touchpad in lieu of a mouse, if that means anything.

Select the item and double click the symbol?
The "don't" sign appears until you are directly on top of the element you want to to drop on, then it should change. Assuming the element you are trying to drag is valid to add to the element you are trying to add to (eg, you can't add a grace note to a rest).
If that doesn't help, please attach your score and tell us what specific element you are trying to drag to which specific note.
Meanwhile, double-click is normally more efficient than drag & drop anyhow (select one or more elements in score, double-click palette icon to apply it simultaneously to the selection)

Thanks, I didn't even know double-click was a thing! I'll use that from now on.
