    @Yogesh - this is excellent news. Additional artboards will really help with our workflow.

    We don't typically have individual artboards that would exceed the size of the canvas. However, it's a huge pain to hit the limits of the canvas when I'm only adding 5 or 6 new artboards.

    Example:

    I'm working on a screen layout, so I've opened a doc with one artboard. I finalize the layout and want to add new artboards to create variations on the original.

    I hit the "New Artboard" icon in the Artboards palette.

    After adding 5 or 6, I get the message "Cannot create Artboard outside the canvas. Please rearrange and try again."

    I have to "Rearrange Artboards", add more artboards, then rearrange again.

    Thanks,
    Richard

    We use Illustrator for icon creation, so that we can export to PNG and SVG. Across a large organization with hundreds of products, we have thousands of icons. We also use Illustrator for UI design, and can easily run out of artboards for complex flows.

    The 100-artboard limit is a huge pain, and is causing us to look at more flexible products, like Sketch.
