    Starting with Beta 29.7.1 the Rearrange dialog got a separate dedicated feature, currently called 'Align Manually'.

    With it disabled, artboards get positioned instantly in the center of the canvas, as it behaved previously.

    When this is enabled, you will enter the positioning mode after pressing OK — to allow rearranging only some artboards, to address this request.

    With more than 1 artboard selected (but not all), the mode gets enabled automatically (and becomes locked).

    Changing the rearrange artboard behaviour as well as burying the rearrange artboard dialog menu as well as the artboard dimensions themselves were all terrible changes. Workflow breaking. I spent an hour trying to figure out what I was missing and researching if there was ways to get the old behaviour. Waste of my time.
