The tool
Artboards Panel

The Artboards panel helps you manage multiple design canvases within a single Illustrator document.

    Select Window > Artboards to open the panel.

  2. 2

    Select the Artboard Tool from the Toolbar.

    NoteYou can also press Shift+O to activate the Artboard Tool.

  3. 3

    Drag on the canvas to create a new artboard.

  4. 4

    Click the New Artboard button in the Artboards panel to add a new artboard.

  5. 5

    Double-click to the right of an artboard's name in the panel to center it on your screen.

  6. 6

    Drag artboard names in the Artboards panel to reorder them.

  7. 7

    Select Rearrange All Artboards from the panel menu.

    Best practiceTo avoid artboard numbering issues, periodically close and reopen Illustrator, especially after long sessions or many tabs.

  8. 8

    Select desired options in the Rearrange All Artboards dialog.

  9. 9

    Click OK to apply the arrangement.

Use the Artboards panel to name, reorder, and navigate your artboards efficiently.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Illustrator — not a feature checklist.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
