    As you probably know, Illustrator today allows to change this behavior with a dedicated option in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display section.

    However, it’s not that accessible, especially when you are already move and copy your artboards.

    If you wish this option to be more exposed, consider upvoting this request: Display Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard option in Control panel and Properties while using Artboard tool / mode

    Move an artboard

    Select the artboards you want to move.
    Do one of the following:


    To move the artboards and its contents, select the Move Artwork With Artboard options in the Properties panel or click in the Control panel, and then position the pointer in the artboard and drag.
    To move the artboards without its contents, click to deselect the Move Artwork With Artboard option in the Properties panel or click in the Control panel, and then position the pointer in the artboard and drag.
    Specify new X and Y values in the Properties panel or the Control panel.
