Recognize Artboard Overlapping
I often run into times where I try to drag an artboard and I might accidentally overlap artboards which then grabs the art on the other artboard. If Illustrator can recognize artboard overlapping and warn the user of it or have a smart option which recoginzes and keeps the art on their respective artboards even if they are overlapping, that would be really nice.

Hi Egor, thank you for getting back to me. Below I attached two examples of how I typically run into issues when artboards overlap and I show my request idea with it. I believe that a simple warning would be the most practical solution just so that users are aware and can either continue or cancel the action

Haris, how often do you overlap these and how does it happen? Just by moving them around, in a chaos of exploring?
What do you expect to happen if you release and drop a moved one if it get overlapped? A modal warning? An instant choice in it to undo? A 'shy' message (the gray one at the top, like Ai uses for 'live shape expanded' and other non-critical cases)?
Would you expect it change the cursor to 'forbidden' and refuse to get dropped at all, restoring the position automatically?
Please elaborate.
