    Thanks in advance!
    I'm working through a 2D tutorial and everything is going great except when I created a canvas and textmesh to add damage text when the player is hit. After adding the canvas, all I see in scene view is the canvas (sometimes with a small main camera preview). How do I get back to the normal scene view where the characters are visible? Right now, I can only see everything in game view.

    Double click object you want to zoom in. From this point notice that you're game objects are in reality in bottom left corner (tiny box) of canvas not in scale 1:1 with it (like in game view).

    Thanks! Double click worked. Much appreciated. I've done some of those missions, but not the one you linked so clearly I should do it.
