Cannot scale objects in scene view

Hello everyone,

when I select one of my UI Elements for a title menu / pause menu and trying to scale it, unity simply won't let me do it. I see the blue dots on the 4 edges and I try to drag one but it simply won't do it. How do I fix this?

Yes, I selected the RectTool correctly. In tutorial videos I've watched they simply drag the corner and scale it that way.

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes UI elements will have their size locked by parent UI elements. If you look at the rect transform you are trying to change, does it have its width and height fields greyed out? For example, if you have a vertical layout group component on a parent object it will lock the rect transform of its child components to make sure that they conform to the layout group. If this is the case, the rect transform should say that it is being locked by a layout group.
