Is there a way to make the artboard name & number label visible while not on the artboard tool?

Correct answer Egor Chistyakov

There in an existing feature request at UserVoice on it:

Provide an option for making artboard names / numbers visible on the artboard (like when editing artboards)

Right now, Illustrator Bet,a has this option under Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display > Show Artboard names..

I assume that soon will be on the other version.

You could just use the text tool and label it yourself..

You might like using the Artboards panel, accessed under the Window menu.

Thanks, Barabara. I use it all the time, although I would like the individual artboards to be identifiable at a glance. Affinity Designer has this feature as a default.

Please make a feature request.

If enough people want it as well, then there's a chance that the engineers do it.
