    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.

    I mistakenly posted asking for the same thing not realising this had already been posted, fully agree, here's what I posted for reasonings as to why I agree so much:

    This might just be me and maybe its already possible and i've not realised it- but I really wish it was possible to make entire artboards invisible, I know I can just make the layers invisible but this doesn't make the artboard itself invisible too. When I work in Photoshop with artboards I like to toggle their visibilities so I can focus on one or two at a time really quickly and easily. I also think it would be fantastic to have a solo option for both layers and artboards, the solo function in After Effects really does wonders for my concentration. I find it a huge shame the same can't be done in Illustrator. As someone who struggles to focus on busy things I think this could really help my workflow.
