- The area outside the artboard that will be trimmed after printing (Correct answer)
- The margin inside the artboard for safe content

Correct answer: The area outside the artboard that will be trimmed after printing
Bleed is the extra area beyond the trim edge that ensures background colors or images extend to the edge of the final printed piece after cutting.

Workspaces save the layout of panels, menus, and keyboard shortcuts so you can quickly switch between different workflow configurations.

Correct answer: An area for job information that is trimmed away after printing
The slug area is outside the bleed and is used for printing job information, color bars, or instructions that are removed after the final trim.

Correct answer: Forces objects to align to grid intersections when moved
Snap to Grid causes objects to jump to the nearest grid line or intersection as you move them, making precise alignment easier.
