Q: How do I turn 3 fingers drag back on?
I've tried to adjust the settings of the trackpad, turns out I can't drag with 3 fingers anymore. Then I googled and notice that I can't find the feature for 3 fingers drag anymore in my system preference. Does anybody know how to turn it back on? Or they removed the feature? If so, is there a way to get it back or downgrade back to previous version?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Hello Stone Tan,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I can understand the confusion. The option for 3-finger drag is outlined here in the following Knowledge Base article:
Turn on "three finger drag" for your Force Touch trackpad - Apple Support
Here's how to turn on three finger drag if your Mac has a Force Touch trackpad.
- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- Click the Accessibility icon.
- Choose Mouse & Trackpad from the options on the left.
- Click Trackpad Options.
- Place a checkmark next to "Enable dragging."
- From the related pop-up menu, choose “three finger drag” so there's a checkmark next to it.
- Click OK.
Regards.
