Zooming/panning map in QGIS layout independently from frame?












1















I am coming from ArcMap. Working in the layout view, I had buttons to zoom/pan data and other buttons to zoom/pan the view itself. In QGIS, I can't seem to be able to achieve this. The only buttons I have are for zooming/panning the view not the data(the same happens when I use the mouse scroll wheel).



Any way to achieve this?

          You can pan the map by first selecting it. Then using the "Move item content" tool:



          enter image description here



          While this tool is active as well you can also use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the map.

          • No, this tool moves the whole map. I want to pan/zoom only the data.

          • That tool DOES pan and zoom the data. You are probably using the tool one to the left.
