How can I scroll up more increase the scroll buffer in iTerm2

Question

Silly question  so I do apologize if the answer is bluntly obvious but how can I scroll up more on iterm2 to get full output  At times  for example if I am doing unit tests  the errors are so large than I need to keep scrolling up to which I cannot scroll up anymore but the output continues further up beyond the top of the scroll  How can I access that  I tried page up more but not getting me there   Thanks
