    In the Device Viewports section in the center:

    • Drag the viewport with your mouse to reposition it.

    • Drag its edges to resize it.

    • Alternatively, set the X, Y, Width, and Height values in the property panel on the right.

  • Step 3: Understand the Relationship Between the Application Content and the Screen Display Area

    By adjusting the viewport position and size, you can map specific sections of the application content to the device screen.

    For example, in the illustration below, the Galaxy S6 display area is configured to align vertically in the middle along the right edge. On the device, the displayed content will correspond to the right-edge vertical middle section of the application.
