Hello everyone, can anyone tell me how to turn off the information above my drawing area? It sounds strange, but it bothers me enormously. 🙂 I've looked everywhere and haven't found anything suitable. I can click on it, but I can't delete it completely. Thanks for your help.

Let us know if that helps.

In the application preferences there is an option to show / hide artboard names.

Oh yes, thank you very much, that's exactly what I was looking for. Simple, but I didn't see it because of all the other features. 😛 My mistake. Thank you again.
