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

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:

    ...

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.
