Reducing Artboards

Hi,

 

I seem to have end-up having multiple, unneeded Artboards in one file. How do I remove the ones without the artwork?

Hi @Trains1985,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Met1 has provided the correct instructions. First, click on the Artboard tool and delete the extra Artboards by pressing the delete button on your keyboard. If that doesn't work, you can go to the Window menu > Artboards, and the Artboards panel will appear. Then, select the extra artboard and click the delete button icon in the right corner.

 

However, if you don't see any extra Artboard, it is possible you have accidentally drawn a rectangle or shape with a white Fill. Then go to the layers panel or use the selection tool to delete the shape.

 

I hope it helps!

 

Regards,

Anshul Saini

Select the artboard tool and you'll see each one labeled, click on the one you want to get rid of and click delete.

As far as I can tell, when I do what is recommended, I am only able to add more artboards. The only area that seems to be editable is the area that has color occupying it. The white bar (artboard in itself) at the top, is practically frozen.
