Artboards with the same 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")

OK, the team needs some help with clear defined steps to reproduce this infuriating bug. The fact it happens is clear enough, and consequences are disastrous. However, it always happens when not expected, and so far nobody can tell the way to force it to happen. It's been three years! Please – if anyone knows the exact steps – give them here in the comments.

I just got this message from Illustrator when trying to export one specific artboard. I have never seen this message before. The artboard it self is numbered 79, but should be nr 78. I looked at the artboard menu and the info on the artboard and there it is number 78! So it worked for me to export nr 78 but this is a very strange error. Why is this happening?

Created a new document and it still is skipping one number (56) and duplicating one (59)! Is there no bug fix for this 2.5 years later??? If I do the option Lisa mentions, it does export ok but the file itself is still incorrect.

When this happens to me (happens randomly) it is always after I save the original file. A workaround is to export before saving. Another workaround I have found is to 1. select artboard tool 2. select ALL artboards (hold down shift and click each one) 3. click on Artboard Options 4. under the name option, type Artboard 1. This should reset the names of the artboards. 5. Export. Do not save the file first or it reverts back to the incorrect artboard numbers. Hope this helps someone.

Having the same issue. My file will allow me to create new art boards, and or drag a new art board. BUT it will always duplicate number 10 ( skipping over 9 ), duplicate number 12 ( skipping over 11 ), duplicate number 15 (skipping over 14). Does not seem to be related to the content in the file, I can lock the layers and the issue still occurs. Manually re-ordering or editing the names does not solve the issue. Deleting and recreating the art boards does not solve the issue. Saving as and creating a new file does not solve the issue. Staring over with a completely new file does not solve the issue.

Artboards and paste in place are a nightmare.

Stefania, a cool observation! Definitely a bug... I just think it night be a different bug. I suppose it should be reported separately. Can you do that, please?

OK, I just posted a comment and I noticed something odd in the video, so now I think I have found what action triggers this bug. Please watch (and wait for it): https://www.screencast.com/t/Xxugi3ai8LAQ

The issue I'm facing might be connected with this one. When I have multiple artboards and I start to rename them, sometimes, completely randomly, renaming one artboard, automatically renames the one above it ending up in two artboards with the same name. Look what happens here: https://www.screencast.com/t/ywyCAyfhEOH

複数のアートボードをつくって作業していた

アートボードが1つだけになっていて 「アートボード1」ではなくて「アートボード9」のみある状態。

直前まではアートボード4までしか使っていなかった。9はどこから?なんで?XY軸もずれて仕事に影響 困る。
これに限らず複数回起こっているバグ。

Document has 42 artboards in total and there are two sets with duplicate numbers I can't change. Very frustrating to see how long people have been flagging this for with no fix. It has messed up my exporting of logo files and meant I almost sent the wrong ones to a client!

This is still not fixed in 25.3.1 Very frustrating.

アートボードの名称をきちんと連番にしないと画像等に書き出した際、めちゃくちゃな順番になってしまうのと、ファイル名も~のコピーのようなバカみたいな名前になるのが困るので、アートボードを一斉に連番でリネームできるようにしてほしい。

Here's a very simple test file. One current artboard, no layers, no objects in the file.
Draw a single rectangle, and convert it to an artboard. Instead of artboard #2, it will be #3.
Create another one and it will also be #3. If you create a 3rd one it will be #4. -

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.
