Artboards

Artboards are the foundation of your composition across both design and animate mode. They act as the root of every hierarchy and allow you to define the dimensions and background color of a scene. You can create an infinite amount of artboards on the Stage, but each Rive file has at least one artboard.
To learn more about Artboards, watch our video on Artboards or read more below.

The active artboard is represented with a dot next to its name on the stage. You can activate an artboard by clicking on it or any of its children within the stage. Note that sections of the editor will only surface content associated with the active artboard. For instance, only the active artboard's hierarchy is displayed in the tree. Similarly, only animations referenced to the active artboard will surface within the timeline.

Before creating any graphics, you'll first need to create an artboard. When you create a new file, you'll be prompted to create your first artboard.
