# Moving around the canvas

The canvas can be scrolled using the scroll bars at the right and bottom. These scroll bars respond to mouse wheel movements too. You can also scroll by holding down the Option or Alt key and dragging the canvas using the mouse.

If you customize the document toolbar and add the Tool toolbar button you can use a special hand tool to move the canvas.

### Zooming

You can zoom out the canvas to display more objects simultaneously by using the zoom control in the toolbar. If you have a multi-touch trackpad you can use the standard pinch zoom gestures. SQLEditor can zoom down to 5%.

Tip:
You can also optionally zoom using the mouse wheel (although this needs to be enabled first in the Preferences window)
Tip:
Print scaling is independent of document zooming. If you set a print scale factor in the File→Page Setup panel then this will always be used for printing, regardless of the document zoom level (which is for display only).

You can have more than one document window open at once. To switch between different windows either click on the window you want or use the window menu to choose a different window.
