An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment @Elena oh that's super-irritating, I'm sorry it didn't work for you. Hopefully a restart and trying again might do it?
It takes up so much space in the UI, I fully get your frustration.
@Markus I agree completely - it's great to learn about new features, but not at the expense of actual working space. Every little thing like this slows us down, and there's enough pressure with work already, fighting with the tools is not needed haha.
An error occurred while saving the comment To anyone else that's been struggling with this, I discovered the only way to get rid of this advert is to try using the generative expand.
To get rid of it select an artboard with the artboard tool, then Generative Expand will appear in the floating toolbar thing - click into that and go part-way through the process and the advert should disappear. I stopped before actually generating anything, and that seemed to be enough.
It did take a while to figure out where to actually find the feature, so the advert isn't even doing that job very well to be honest.
Please add an option to manually dismiss this advert and any others like it - it takes up valuable screen space on the layers panel and it was not clear that the only way to get rid of it was to try the feature.
Also the 'i' button appears to do nothing, at least on my system it did not bring anything up.
Adding a close or 'x' button to the advert and any others that are coming would be much appreciated (although I think adverts should not be part of UI). Thanks.
PS the scaling is broken on the tooltip popup - see attached. This is a separate issue but still. Win 11, 100% desktop scaling, Illustrator UI scaling set to 3 out of 9.

An error occurred while saving the comment Almost all of my work in Illustrator goes to After Effects, so layer naming is absolutely critical.
Just updated to 29.6.1 and Tab now goes through all options in the layer panel including Layer Name, hopefully this fix is working for everyone else.🤞🏾

An error occurred while saving the comment Edit - there's also this thread from 2018 that requests this change:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/33744007-export-for-screens-bigger-window-size-for-prefiAn error occurred while saving the comment Please make the Prefix text box on the Export for Screens window wider.
When working with strict naming conventions longer prefixes are often needed. This box is very narrow, and would benefit greatly from being wider.
It is part of a fixed-width panel with nothing else on the same row, so the space to the right where it could be expanded is being used for nothing else.
Please widen the box to the panel width as it would be a good quality of life improvement that would not impact any other functionality. Thanks.
An error occurred while saving the comment I fully second this - having a larger 'Prefix' box would make managing longer file names much easier. I often have to use a specific naming structure that is much longer than the box currently allows.

Starting with Beta 29.8.0.5 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).
At the moment Snap to Grid is not respected in both modes, and no snapping to pixel grid occurs in this new manual mode — but works in the automatic mode.
Please test the this and comment back!
An error occurred while saving the comment Please make the 'click to place' optional - this has really messed with my workflow, especially with storyboarding where certain common assets remain fixed and it's useful to be able to reorder artboards without moving those locked items.
I can see the benefit for manually placing selected artboards but it should be optional - with the current version it's almost impossible to get things exactly on-pixel as well. Thanks. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Sometimes when opening existing Illustrator documents with the app maximised in Windows, the act of opening those files pulls Illustrator out of maximised mode and reverts back to the last non-maximised size and location.
I cannot figure out why some docs cause this and others don't.
Request: If Illustrator is maximised, then it should stay that way when opening all files. Having to resize and re-maximise the window is a small task, but it breaks workflow and can get in the way when working with multiple files.
Cheers.
Win 11, Illustrator 29.5.1

An error occurred while saving the comment @Egor thanks for that, didn't know about Alt in text mode, great tip. Also just discovered that holding Alt with selection tool active gives the distance to the edge of the artboard for the selected objects. Two new things learned today!
The scrollbar thing is definitely still there as a bug, but this is the first time I've run into it so the workaround is good for now, cheers!

Hello all,
This feature has been made available to you starting V 27.6.
Please give it a try and let us know what you all think!
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi. This is critical for my work in Illustrator, which often involves storyboards.
These can often need to be moved around, re-ordered, new artboards adding in. Having a strong naming convention is vital for when they are taken in to edit to lay out animatics.
Currently the only way I can find to export with incrementing numbers at the end is to manually name the artboards each time before export, which gets very time-consuming when there are a lot, or if client amends are frequent.
My ideal upgrades for the Export for Screens panel are as follows:
- Option to prefix with the file name, as per InDesign PDF export. This would be a checkbox. This would save a lot of time and ensure consistency in file names.
- Option to include/exclude artboard names - this would also be a checkbox. This would be useful in conjunction with the numbering options mentioned below, as it would negate the need to name artboards if numbers are all that's needed, saving a lot of time.
- Use of tokens similar to the current implementation (e.g. #AN, #IN), but change so that the export does not automatically append another number at the end of the filename, as this can override the file sorting in some circumstances.
- Option to use those tokens as suffixes, to come at the end of the exported filenames.
- The option to add leading zeros - this is vital if you have more than 9 files. I'd suggest either a checkbox to add leading zeros and the program figures out how many it will need, or that users can manually choose how many digits they need. This is also vital if exporting for animation.
- A wider Prefix text box! There is free space to the side, and in lieu of being able to use filename as prefix, this would be very helpful on a daily basis. It's currently too small to be of use for most naming conventions I know of.
Pleas ask if there is any clarification needed, this is a massive productivity issue and hopefully it can be improved going forwards.
Many thanks!
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi, the beta implementation is a good step forward, thank you.
As improvements I'd strongly suggest either adding the ability to choose the number of digits in the number prefix, or have it default to the largest number of digits.
Currently it will export 1, 2, 3, and then on to 10, 11, 12 etc. It would be much better for sorting files if the option was there to export 01, 02, 03, so the files sorted in the correct order when pulled into other applications.
My primary suggestion would be to get whoever many artboards are being exported, and have all the exported boards have that number of digits - if there were hundreds of artboards then it would notice that and the first exported board would be 001 and so on.
It would also be really useful to have a checkbox to include/ignore the artboard names - as they cannot be blank they currently need to have something - in the example image attached they have all been set to 'A' as a single non-space character.
One issue I've seen while testing is that numbered artboard exports (#AN) seem to be having the number below them appended on the end of the filename. For example, 'prefix #AN' would produce files named:
prefix -1.png
prefix -2_1.png
prefix -3_2.png
and so on. I cannot figure out what is causing this - any help gladly appreciated!Also please expand the width of the prefix text box - our naming conventions often need longer prefixes and the text box is narrow.
Many thanks
An error occurred while saving the comment +1 for Helen M's description - being able to prefix with the artboard number while reordering artboards would be a big time saver.
My primary use case is storyboards, which can change in order quite a bit as a result of feedback, and having to go through 50+ artboards and manually re-number them each time is painful.
An error occurred while saving the comment Big plus one on this idea - I end up manually entering artboard numbers and if they need to change it's very time consuming to update

Illustrator uses the actual order of artboards in the Artboards panel for numbering, not the one you have on canvas (because artboards can be used not only as pages, but viewports, intersect and contain each other). To get the order you need, you should re-arrange the list manually in the panel.
There is also a request for automating the matching inverted process: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44105052-rearrange-artboards-on-canvas-accordingly-to-their

An error occurred while saving the comment Massive +1 to this - I'd love for this to behave like After Effects, in that if an object is selected then it is given priority. The accidental selection of a text bounding box is something I deal with a lot, and this would be a great solution to that.

Starting from the February 2024 release, version 28.3, this option is no longer enabled by default for new documents. If you had hyphenation enabled in an existing document, Ai will respect this.

Hi, I can sometimes copy / cut and paste in Illustrator, sometimes not. This has only been noticed in the last day or so. Could be tied to certain documents, unclear as of yet. I have tried copying (when it works) a document's contents into a new do, and the problem persists, which may indicate that there is a problem with some of the artwork?
When it doesn't want to copy it doesn't matter if I'm using keyboard shortcuts or the menu option, the copy operation does not work and the paste menu items remain greyed out. Very similar to the symptoms reported here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/copy-paste-command-not-working/td-p/13368238I'd class this as a critical bug, as it's affecting basic system functions. Copy and paste are working fine in all other apps tested.
Any help or guidance much appreciated, as this is seriously affecting my ability to deliver for clients.
@Ally It's sounding more and more like I must have got lucky that it disappeared!
Sorry it's not worked for you, hope you find a solution soon 🙏🏽
