Move or copy view controller from one storyboard to another

Question

I have several UIViewControllers in one Storyboard. Now I want to move some UIViewControllers to another Storyboard. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Interface elements can be moved between Xib and Storyboard files via Copy / Paste.

This was not originally working for me. I was attempting to copy a UICollectionViewCell from a dedicated Xib to our Main Storyboard. The cell would not copy into the Storyboard.

The solution was to Select the specific parent element in the storyboard. The UICollectionViewCell can be pasted in as a child of a UICollectionView in the storyboard, but otherwise cannot be pasted.

If you're having trouble pasting a specific item, be sure to double check that you have selected a valid parent element before attempting to paste.
