You can set Fred to prompt you to select a format for all articles elements when dragging article on the page.

This is managed by the glbApplyEltFormatWhenLinking global overridable variable in the EditorialConfig.

By default, this functionality is off for all users.

You can enable it on the system level for all users.

Add that variable to the EditorialConfig and enter the value "True" to turn on the functionality. See Edit EditorialConfig to learn about how to edit the EditorialConfig. See Adding or overriding variables in your EditorialConfig for instructions on how to add or modify variables.
