Xcode playground quick look button not found.

Hello. I don't know if this is a place to ask questions and get solutions, but I think there will be a lot of experts gathered, so I'm posting it.

I'm a student who recently started learning Xcode.

In the book, you can see a graph-shaped pop-up window by pressing the eye-shaped quick look button in the Xcode playground, but I can't find that button in my Xcode 26 version.

Can you tell me where the button is?

I'm sorry for asking such a basic question.

Thank you for your post, this is the perfect place to ask as many developers will know what button you are looking.

Xcode's interface changes frequently, so older books and tutorials often show buttons that have moved or changed slightly. Hope I understand exactly what button you are looking for.

Are you talking about the quick look button after the play? I hope I'm thinking about the same thing.

Make sure your playground has actually run. You can click the "Play" button, the blue triangle, at the very bottom of the editor, or the play button next to the specific line of code. On the far right side of your code editor, there is a gray area called the Results Sidebar. Editor > Show Playground Results (Xcode version is important for the options, but Editor has not changed)

Move your mouse pointer directly over that result text in the right sidebar (hover over the last line). Clicking this will open the pop-up window with the graph you are loaoking for. Clicking this will embed the graph directly into your code editor right below the line of code.

What book are you referring to when you say "In the book"?

What are you trying to do when you click the Quick Look button? Telling us what you are trying to do can help us tell you what you have to do in Xcode 26 to do the thing you are trying to do.
