Any way to move the actual page right?

The page always keeps to the extreme left, but when zooming out more that leaves a lot of unused space on the right, whereas on the left (bottom) there are player avatars in the way. Plus it's just less comfortable looking at the left than it is looking at the centre or right, since right is closer to the text/settings box and thus much of the game is more drawn to the right. Am I missing a feature to move the actual page, not just the maps I put on it, or is this intended behavior? Thanks. Sample image included.
That's the way it is.

Witch King, It is the way the page functions. When it is expanded, it always opens towards the right and bottom (depending on how you expand it). Now if you want to move everything in relationship to each other there is a method. You use the  keyboard shortcut of CTRL/CMD+A to select everything on that page layer then you can drag them or use your arrow keys to move them to the location you want them to be.
I understand. I would have hoped for a way to move the page background (the simple white background with the squares), not just the user-generated layers on it, but hey, it is what it is. And if moving the user-generated layers, I would've hoped for a way to move all 3 of them together, but this way is playable too. As I now understand, a partial solution is simply to make a page that is much wider than your map and just put your map further right on that page. This way you have more room to maneuver the actual position of the map on your screen. Thanks for the responses.

Plus make sure you set your Page Background Color to what you want. &nbsp;Make it light grey if you want to appear to blend into the Roll20 behind-the-map background that's grey hatched. &nbsp;Make it black if you use Fog Of War or Dynamic Lighting to match their blackness (this has the added benefit of obscuring where the edge of the map actually is, giving the players a mystery). &nbsp;Make the page background green for grass if you have a wilderness or town map that could be surrounded by "green space".

I like it, especially the fog of war on a black background. Good thoughts.

It's under My Settings, Video/Player Avatar Size drop-down, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/My_Settings#My_Settings" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/My_Settings#My_Settings</a>
Definitely missed that. Thanks. This makes the view much better.
