# How to zoom in or out on the whiteboard

How to use built-in or browser features to zoom in and out

There is no built in zoom in the whiteboard, but you can accomplish this in 2 ways.

## Expand or shrink contents on the whiteboard

-   Use the select tool on the toolbar (it's the one farthest to the left)
    
-   Click and drag across the entirety of the contents you want to shrink or expand, including text, images, drawings, and anything else.
    
-   Click and drag the selection bumpers to shrink or grow the contents together. You can then move these around the whiteboard to put them where you would like.
    

## Use your browser

If you simply want to see a closer or farther view of the content, you can also zoom out the UPchieve app and whiteboard using your browser's zoom function. For example, press `Ctrl` + `-` (Windows) or `Cmd` + `-` (Mac) to zoom out.
