Zooming in/out on a macOS storyboard in Xcode does not seem to be possible:
Editor -> Zoom menu is greyed out
No + or - buttons on storyboard
I want to zoom out of the storyboards to see more of a view controller, as I can only see a portion.
Edit:
This is Xcode 9.4.1
Screenshot of Main.storyboard:

Zoom Menu:Zoom menu greyed out
Thanks in advance!😉
You can't (in macOS app projects).
You could change the zoom level by:
keep pushing the option button.
and then scroll the mouse wheel.
The benefit that you will get by following this approach is that you would be able to change the level with the desired percentage, instead of being sticked with the provided zoom percentages by clicking the +/- buttons.

While applying AutoLayout I have switched to Preview Mode On so Preview window is showing my design in iPhone 8,iPhone SE and iPad devices like this
now I want to zoom out so that no need to scroll Preview window Left and Right.
Pinch Zoom In/Out is available in MacBooks but i need it for mac mini
Any help would be Appreciated.
You have to double click in the white space area.
I am completely new to Xcode. I would like to hide the View Controller Scene panel, so that I can follow on with a tutorial, and have more screen real estate. I understand that I can hide the left and right panels, but it's the panel I have highlighted in red which I want to hide. Many thanks.
There's a small icon representing that panel at the bottom of the storyboard view. It's just to the left of the spot that says "View as: iPhone 8..." in your image. Click that icon to toggle the visibility of the storyboard outline view.
There's also a menu command: Editor->Hide Document Outline that does the same thing.
Press the highlighted icon to hide the side panel.
For xcode 11.3 you may hide the preview by
Editor->Preview
make sure it is not checked.
Is there a scrollbar to allow horizontal/vertical scrolling in the Assistant Editor preview in Xcode 6?
I know you can zoom in and zoom out but when zoomed out you can only view no more than one device at a time.
As i know theres no scroll bar
Horizontal srcolling:
but you can try
horizontal scrolling:
(shift + scrollMouseWheel up\downslide)
Vertical scrolling:
(scrollMouseWheel up\downslide)
Set active window on preview. (tested on Xcode 6.3)
Not sure about the scrolling, but if you want to view multiple devices in preview best way is to open preview up in a separate window, works very nicely and beats running on your project on 3 different simulators evertime you make a change....see a great tutorial here
When I try to edit a storyboard file in Xcode (Version 5.1.1 (5B1008) under OS X 10.9.3) I can only see the vertical scrollbar. Moving around in the horizontal direction between view controllers is not possible. The horizontal bar doesn't show when I hover over it. It only briefly shows when I select past the visible area but it immediately disappears afterwards and I can only scroll by a few pixels at a time this way.
I have tried restarting XCode and the OS but it didn't help. Scrolling was possible before. It stopped working for no apparent reason this morning. I have not updated XCode nor OS X or messed with the system in any way since it was last working. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Do I need to reinstall XCode at this point?
Press Shift + Scroll Mouse this will scroll preview in horizontal
It's a not bug, it's a feature. It wouldn't be a problem if you use the Apple mouse. There is a workaround for a typical 2/3 button mouse, although it would affect all horizontal bars across the system. Just follow System Preferences->General->Show scroll bars, and select Always.
I have been struggling with this as well. The only solution I found is the following:
So there is a mini map for the storyboard that hovers over the right upper-side.
If you can't see it, just click on the "Adjust Editor Options" button and make sure Minimap is selected.
This is the best way to move around just like you are using the scroll bars.
I wouldn't ask if I couldn't find it anywhere else, but I've run into a problem. I have a complete storyboard built in Xcode, but I've lost it on the screen. Pressing the +/- buttons in the bottom right zoom in and out, but nothing shows up. I know the app is there because it runs fine, but all of my views are off the screen and I have no idea how to get them back. And since I'm on a desktop, there's no way to pan (maybe the same issue happens on a laptop?)
How do I get my storyboard back?
I searched for a "zoom all" in the menus but can't find one.
This is so frustrating. Grrr. I can't work on my storyboard until I can find it on the canvas. I can't find it on the canvas because I can't pan and have no idea where it is.
Right click on your storyboard file => Open As => iOS Storyboard
