    I duplicated the same artboard 3 times, ending up with 4 artboards, and two of those artboards were assigned the same number (4). So I cannot export one of the artboards as they export to a single file name. I duplicated one of the artboards to get artboard number 5, then deleted one of the artboard number 4s and artboard number 5 became artboard number 4 resulting in the same problem.
