Changing Viewport Scale

I’m using paperspace for the first time, and having some trouble making things work the way I want.

You can select the viewport like any other entity and change the scale in the property editor (View > Property Editor).

Thanks Andrew, I knew it was there somewhere. I swear I looked there before but didn’t see it, now I do.
