Scrapbooks in Layout-view port too small-work around video

Youtube Video of the same:

This video is a to show you how I use trays in conjunction with scrap books in layout.
i use scrapbooks to house all sorts of information i use frequently in my construction docs, and it works great.

Often though, I find it difficult to determine and pick the correct graphic from the Scapbooks window as the dialogue box is too small.

A work around to this problem is to create a separate tray that contains only scrapbooks.

I do this by creating a new tray under windows from the pull down menu.

.in the next dialogue I choose scrapbook only.

Now I have a dedicated tray that contains only scrap books.
This tray can be undocked and re-sized.

I enlarge the tray's size and the graphics inside are also proportionally enlarged.

I have a split screen, so I keep this tray away from my main layout view port.

The information that i need in my scrapbooks is now much easier to access.
