Artboards with the same number / missing number
In the artboards menu, two have the same number, and so one cannot access or export one of those two artboards (see the attached photo, with two artboards labeled "9")

The fix to this problem is pushed into general release 29.6 — but the team needs a confirmation from us, since the nature of the bug is elusive. Please try to see if it still happens or not and comment back. Otherwise the team plans to close this report as resolved.

When I create a document with 3 or more artboards it numbers the 3rd artboard as number 4, but it also numbers the 4th artboard as 4, so when exported to JPGs it doesn't save the 3rd one.

Reset illustrator preferences. Here is the navigation: Illustrator > Preferences > General > Reset Preferences. Press and hold Option+Command+Shift as you start Illustrator. There we go!

Have a report that it is not fixed in 25.2.3

Hi, I'm having a recurring bug on illustrator when I have a large amount of artboards. What happens is that illustrator will skip an dartboard number and duplicate another, for example (73, 75, 75, see attachment) That way when I export I end up missing an artbord file because illustrator only exported one of the 75s artboards. See in this case I have two artboard 67s, two 76s and no 74. This happens quite often as soon as I pass the 20ish mark of artboards in a file

I am working with a large number of artboards in a single file. 61 to be exact. The software has named artboard 52 twice. Two different artboards. 51 is missing.
I have tried to upload an image in jpg and gif and your system is rejecting it.

I downloaded the latest update for illustrator and there is still an artboard error in numbering. I was hoping it wouldn't have been a problem till I exported each artboard as a PNG and I was missing art. Trying to create 60 artboards. If I copy and paste artboards I still have the same issue starting at artboard 23 then 25 then...

When adding additional artboards to a document, artboard #43 becomes #44 (you'll end up with two #44), and Illustrator skips #46 (go from #45 to #47).

Same issue. Not just visual. Prevents actual exporting.

Occasionally have the same issue, rebooting Illustrator will restore the artboards to the correct sequence.

I am still having this issue, too, except it skips one of the duplicated artboards when exporting!
