    So are you saying for artboards you would want something in another artboard not to be selectable in the document window if in this Artboards panel it was not the selected one, or would you want it to be more like APub's pages & if that was done, this Artboard panel would automatically change the selection to that artboard, & the Layers panel would then show only that other artboard's layers?

    In Artboards panel you see the list of all artboards. If none of them is selected you see nothing in the layers panel. If you select one of them you see only its objects in the layer panel, but on your screen you see all artboards and all objects you placed on them even the objects outside of the artboards (depending on your zoom level).

    ??? You mean they will continue to exist (& still be visible in the document window), just not be visible in the Layers panel, right?

    If so, what happens if in the document window, a user selects something in one of the other artboards, or that artboard itself?

    Comparing to Publisher where you have facing pages or multiple pages in a spread:

    If you select one page, the other page(s) are still visible and you see everything on these pages in the document window but only layer(s) of the selected page in the layers panel.

    1. So if I understand this correctly, if an artboard is selected in this new Artboards studio, all other artboards in the document would not be visible in the Layers panel?

    2. Would this also hide all the others in the document window or would they still be visible there?

    1. Of course, because they will exist in the Artboard panel only.

    2. They would be visible as the pages are visible in Publisher.

  4. This is just for testing purposes. I thought it would work as easy as you put an object over 3 page spread in Publisher, but obviously, it didn't. And then, there is

    ... make the existing Artboards child layers of a new, larger, Artboard and then put the yellow rectangle into that parent Artboard as the top layer above the other Artboards.

    another confusion with Artboards. They deserve their own panel. They are not layers, but objects (something like pages in Publisher) that can have their own layers.

    I hate to be thick headed, but I truly don't understand the use of facing pages in a multipage spread. You are literally defining individual pages (I keep using the trifold as an example) which is made of up of three individual pages in a single spread. Which pages are facing which in this case?

    The goal is simply to print the spread with all three pages in the order in which you set them. If you export spreads, that layout should export. If you export pages, you should get three separate pages.

    My gut tells me software engineers and not designers are developing this implementation.

    If you create covers, ads, trifolds and other kind of spreads, you can use not-facing pages, but if you have spreads inside a book -- the pages of the book must be facing pages and the spreads should be, too, combination of facing pages.

    I'm beyond excited to see this feature added - I've been looking for it since v1! But here's a really dumb question/issue... I can't find how to PRINT my 3-page spread. For example, I have a tri-fold comprised of six pages- 3 pages per spread. I want to print them and the print dialogue doesn't show me the option for spreads. I'm thinking it's a setting in the new document setup dialogue, but can't figure it out.

    Thanks, everyone!

    Choose "All Spreads" from "Area" when exporting PDF.

    The number of sides for a master is limited to 10 but there isn't an upper-limit on the number of pages in a spread. I believe ID limits you to 10 and another app I used limited you to 99 which was too high.

    It depends of the software how big page you can create within. I think Quark allows about 4m x 4m page so you can calculate how many pages (depending of the book size) you can put in a row.
