Predefined artboards

Explorer ,
Nov 03, 2025 Nov 03, 2025

New artboards are always blank! But why?

While creating a new artboard I want to create the guidelines and certain background images too. 

So far I

1) create an artboard,

2) add guides,

3) copy certain elements

4) start working 

 

Why not define a costume artboard that already includes all this?

Save that in a template file.

@Monika Gause: This does not solve the problem on any level (as far as I know)

1. The artboards created while opening the template, will have all things set up. HOWEVER, all new artboards are blank (no guides, background images, etc.)

2. I do create the artboards and guides and things on the fly and don't want to create a template all the time.

 

Let me know if I am wrong.

A new document profile cannot have elements on the artboard. A template can.

My goal would be to define artboard presets within a file, like you can do for assets, and choose from those while creating a new artboard.

 

Can you do that Adobe?

What are you referring to with "like you can do for assets"?

I can save assets in an extra pannel and they even update.

I want the same for "predefined artboards". I want to save them in an extra panel, they should update automatically, AND I want to reuse them for new artboards.

 

Bassically, I want to have something similar as the SlideMaster for PowerPoint.

So you are referring to CC libraries?
