1. A computer-implemented method for artboard element positioning in a series of computer-based artboards, said method comprising:
providing multiple target artboards with a plurality of elements on the multiple target artboards;
identifying a common element of the plurality of elements in at least two of the multiple target artboards, wherein the common element is an editable element that has consistent attributes across the at least two multiple target artboards;
determining a reference position for the common element, wherein the reference position is a set position to be used for the common element on each of the multiple target artboards; and
in each target artboard of the at least two of the multiple target artboards containing the common element:
comparing an existing position of the common element with the reference position,
determining whether the existing position matches the reference position, and
responsive to determining the existing position does not match the reference position, adjusting the existing position of the common element to the reference position.
