An option to choose if the Artboard background color should be exported, for each format, including PNG
When exporting an artboard to PNG, I hope there is an option to follow the background color of the artboard itself. I thought the purpose of the new update is to be able to use that same background color when exporting. I still need to add a shape with the background color that I prefer before exporting.

When using the new artboard background color feature, the background color is included in the artwork that is saved/exported as PDF and SVG as well as when the artwork is linked in InDesign. The background color is not included in EPS and PNG exports. I haven't tested all file types. There needs to be an option to include background color or not in the export/save as settings, or in the InDesign Import Options box.
I'm creating a logo system and used the background color feature on artboards which have light color logos. I tried to then link one of those logos in InDesign and the background color came with the artwork. This is a problem because the logo file must have a transparent background to be used in layouts and exported to the client. This problem makes using the new feature pointless. -
Jennifer, the team is aware and intends to support it later. Thanks for the report!
