Add a standard object to your user interface by dragging it from the Object library to the editor.

You can design much of your user interface with standard elements such as windows, text fields, and buttons from the Object library. The objects in the library meet Apple’s human interface guidelines and have been tested to ensure that they function properly.

Use the search field at the bottom of the library to help you find the object you want to add. After you drag the object from the library to the editor, use the built-in guides to position the object and resize it if necessary.

The video shows how to find a push button in the Object library and add the object to the user interface.
