Can I copy a storyboard from one project to another project?

Question

To reuse a storyboard, could I simply copy it from one project to another project (then make modification to the storyboard as required)?

Answer 1

Yes you can, just make sure they are selected as your main storyboards as per image below.

Answer 2

As @Muhammad said you can and it is very simple!

• You just have to drag the Storyboard file from one project to another and select all options (The same procedure as importing anything else!).
• Next, you just need to go to your project options by clicking on the project icon in the left upper side of project navigator.
• Then you just need to select this storyboard to be your storyboard and that's it.

Answer 3

It's simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Press cmd + D while selecting your desired storyboard scene. It will create a duplicate copy of your selected scene.
2. Press cmd + x to cut the scene from the existing project.
3. Press cmd + v into the storyboard section of the second project.

Cheers.

Answer 4

Method 1

Select the View Controller in the storyboard and press Command + C to copy. Then press Command + V to paste in the second storyboard. Check the document outline to see where it was pasted to.

Method 2

Right click the storyboard file in the Project Navigator and select Open As > Source Code. Scroll down the XML code until you find your View Controller. It will look something like this:

<!--My View Controller-->
<scene sceneID="tne-QT-ifu">
    ...
</scene>

Copy this and paste it in the second project's storyboard file.

Notes

• You must also copy over the view controller swift file, of course, but the outlets shouldn't need to be reconnected.
