Alternatively, you can use the shortcut: Shift + O to use the Artboard tool. This will automatically create an artboard the same size as your project canvas.
You can move the current artboard to create more space for new ones or zoom out to view more workspace. You can create as many artboards in as many sizes as you need. Artboards are different from layers in Illustrator. Artboards allow you to work on and display multiple projects at the same time.
If you don’t have your Properties window open, click Window in the top toolbar and select Properties. Click the text field next to Name: to rename your artboard. Select an option from the Preset drop-down menu to use an artboard preset. Customize the width and height of the artboard by manually inputting the values into Width and Height. This will resize the artboard. You can also select Landscape or Portrait orientation.
