  1. Lock, hide or deactivate artboards

    An option to lock, hide or deactivate one or several artboards would improve working with multiple versions of graphics - especially when you you need to return to an earlier ittaration.

    When saving to AI-file you have to erase the artbord (with the graphics floating in space) to get rid of the page.

    Starting with Beta 29.9.0.36 it’s now possible to lock the objects on artboard basis from the Artboards panel, using a new Lock column, similar to one the Layers panel has.

    How it works:

    • In the Artboards panel, select one or more artboards and click Lock.
    • All objects on those artboards lock automatically.
    • To edit a specific object, simply unlock it from the Layers panel.

    Give it a try and let us know what you think. Your feedback helps the team to shape what comes next.
