Laura's easy to follow, easy to understand, drama free tutorials are a great way to learn the many intricacies of Illustrator, not least of which is bringing clarity to managing artboards.

[@LauraCoyle]

So nice of you to say, John!!

[@l33united22]

Excellent tutorial. I am laying out storyboards that chage with each round of review. So helpful.😊

[@LauraCoyle]

So glad to hear it!

[@the_flying_papaya]

Oh thanks!! I was just looking to reorder the artboards in another order!

[@LauraCoyle]

Glad I could help!

[@victoriasuw]

OMG THANK YOU SM!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THISSSS

[@LauraCoyle]

YAY!

[@knownaigm]

THANK YOU! Good lord this was driving me nuts needing to rearrange the order in which AI would export PDF pages.

[@LauraCoyle]

You're very welcome!

[@RobertoRosso-vn5iz]

I think I have been after this trick (moving the order of artboards) for almost a decade, and I don't know why I could find it nowere!

[@LauraCoyle]

Glad I could help!

🎉thanks! Is there any way to move the artboards not clicking, I mean when you have a large file with 40 pages for example and you don’t want to move the artboard clicking the arrow? Is there any other way to move it?

[@LauraCoyle]

Yes, you can drag and drop in the Artboards panel (hold shift to select next-to-each-other, or cmd/ctrl to select multiples that aren't next to each other). Illustrator doesn't have the best controls for large multipage documents like InDesign, so I think drag and drop is your best bet.
