The tool
Artboards Panel

    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

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.

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.
