Renumber artboards

I think the artboards should not have fixed numbers, but should be numbered according to their position on the canvas.

Workaround for renumbering artboards:

Keep your artboards arranged in a single row.

When you need to renumber them:

1. Unlock all layers. (Option-drag in step 2 only copies unlocked objects.)

2. Activate the Artboard Tool, then option-drag the artboards, one at a time, from the original row to a new row in the newly desired order. That is, first option-drag the artboard you want to be the new number 1, then the new number 2, etc.

3. After you've created a second row in the desired order, delete the entire original row.

I thinkthis is something they did not have time to institue probably!

How would youenvision this feature working?

What would be best for you, let's compare notes.

Hmm too bad! Thanks anyway.

Naming and numbering art boards is a no brainer, but art boards are new. Maybe next time or better yet anupdate to test it!

I don't think so, unfortunately. You have four artboards - 1, 2, 3, 4 - and you want to swap 2 and 3. You should be able to just change the artboard numbers, but can't. You have to manually move either the artboards or the content of the artboards. There is a button which locks an artboard's contents to that artboard, so that when you move the artboard all the stuff on it moves along with it.
