3 Copying and duplicating artwork with artboards.
Putnam created the design for each element of
the identity package, placing the logo symbol
on the artboard and adding text and artwork as
needed. He linked the photo to the insert,
making it easy to replace for the next event.
Although the letterhead and in-sert only
required a single version, he needed to create a
business card that could be duplicated and
personalized later for each employee and
different events. When he needed to create
another business card for a different em-ployee
and/or event, he could either duplicate the
front and back cards in the Artboards panel as
before, or, with the Artboard tool selected and
Move/Copy Artwork enabled in the Control
panel, he could hold down the Option/Alt key
while dragging a selected artboard. With
everything in place, Putnam only had to select
the text, graphic, or linked image that needed
changing and quickly replace it. Because he
could add up to 100 artboards in a single file,
Putnam was now able to stay organized with
just one file.

Sharing artboards and libraries
Any project that shares artwork for different elements—whether they share the same color
theme, graphic and type styles, symbols, brushes, etc.—might benefit from using multiple
artboards. That way you only need to maintain the libraries belonging to any single document,
sharing them among all of the project pieces.
