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.
