You can use a set of common controls to adjust the editing areas of the ViewApp Editor while you are working on a ViewApp.
Adjust the Size of ViewApp Editor Areas
The ViewApp Editor consists of a set of columns that show a navigation hierarchy, an Action List, a graphic of the layout being edited, and a tabbed area at the right to show properties, assets, and content within the Visualization and Template folders.
Dividers are vertical or horizontal lines that separate the different areas of the ViewApp Editor. You can resize a ViewApp Editor area by moving its divider with a drag and drop mouse action or by a touch gesture.
Show or Hide ViewApp Editor Fields
A chevron icon placed near the name of a ViewApp Editor field indicates the field can be expanded or hidden by selecting the chevron.
Change the Viewing Size of a ViewApp in the ViewApp Editor
The middle area of the ViewApp Editor show a graphic representation of the ViewApp currently being edited. A set of pan and zoom controls appear at the bottom of the field to change the size of the Layout graphic. Panning or zooming a layout is useful when the layout is designed for a much larger or smaller screen than the editing area of the ViewApp Editor.

Moving the slider left or right changes the zoom level of the layout graphic shown in the ViewApp Editor. You can also move the slider by rotating the wheel of your mouse. |

The Zoom Percentage picker shows a drop-down list of zoom percentages. You select an option from the list to resize the layout graphic to the selected percentage. |

The Zoom Box enables a selected area to be zoomed to the full width or height of the current editing area of the ViewApp Editor. The cursor shows a magnifying glass when the Zoom Box is selected. Drawing a rectangle by mouse or by touch within the editing area shows the content within the rectangle at the full width or height of the current editing area. |

The Zoom to Fit control changes the size of the layout graphic to fit entirely within the current editing area of the ViewApp Editor. |

The Zoom to 100% control changes the size of the layout graphic to the actual size of the layout. |

You can pan to different parts of the editing area of the ViewApp Editor with the Pan tool. The cursor changes to a hand when pan mode is selected. |
