I had this issue some times ago, and the only method I found to work graphically on the hidden view was to:

• add another temporary ViewController to the Storyboard
• assign the correct class to it (MainViewController, in your case)
• delete it's main view (left menù, command + backspace)
• select the hidden view from the original ViewController and drag it in the new one, exactly under the "Main View Controller" icon (always using the left menù, the one you attached in the image)
• work on the view, add control and graphics, even connecting outlet / actions
• when finished working on the view, drag the view back to it's original position
• delete the temporary view controller

The outlet should stay connected. If you use command-x / command-v (cut/paste) you lose the outlets.

I know it makes no sense, but you can drag it into the first view (temporarily) to edit it via the storyboard. I think this is absurd, but it does work.
