Can't remove blue Artboard outline

There's a blue outline around my Artboard for whichever one I'm using. I'm not in outline mode. Can't figure out where it came from or how to remove it. Have tried viewing in GPU and CPU but its still there.

Hello, this has been fixed in the latest Beta build 29.7.41. You’ll not see the blue outline anymore. Please check and share your thoughts with us.

Hi Adobe, please allow us to toggle this function as the thick blue line really makes it too visually distracting when trying to assess the design as a whole.

Sure, we are looking into it.

Looking for the same answer. I don't understand the point of the blue outline. They need to at least make it optional if they are going to keep it.

Sure, thank you for your suggestion.

This is a new capability that the team is testing in the Beta app to highlight the active artboard. We are looking into this issue.

Blue outline makes sense, but it's a bit too distracting and really interferes with workflow and screen as it seems that something is constantly selected. I see you guys are also adding the capability to add new artboards with the "+" signs. Great idea.

Very distracting, especially if your're scrutinizing color etc.
