Question about Main Storyboard and Viewcontroller via iOS Swift

After I create "PlaylistDetailViewController.swift," the instructor tells us to "click on the second ViewController in the main.storyboard. However, I don't have the option to click on a second viewcontroller, because none show up. The only storyboard element present is the original viewController containing the single button that previous tutorial versions have gone through.

Hey Sean Batir,

You need to add another view controller to your Main.storyboard file. You can do this by dragging one into your storyboard from the object library. The object library is the same place where you get your labels and buttons from to drag onto the storyboard.

Once you do this, make sure you add another ViewController file to your project and link the ViewController in the storyboard up to that new ViewController file. You do this through the identity inspector (its a tab in the IB panel on the right side, right next to the attributes inspector).

Good Luck!

PS. I recommend rewatching the video as your instructor goes through this all!
