Is there a way to see objects which are placed outside the canvas? (Outside the dimensions of the composition) Off stage. Like in Animate or Illustrator.

That would be so handy for me, animating stuff which come sliding in/out of view.

You can simply expand the composition size (width or height) and do your animation. After finishing your animation, set the composition size back to original.

You can always go to the front view or any custom view and use the camera tool to pull back and see elements outside the Active Camera view. I do it all the time.

Nope. You only ever get to see the layer bounding box. everything else will have tzo be handled by structuring your project suitably using nested compositions etc..
