Question: I love the Photoshop artboard feature, however I'm used to seeing the transparent background grid. Is there any way to show this in my artboards in Photoshop?

And yes, I know it will still save with a transparent background, but I like having the grid that way if I were to use a white background for something I would be able to distinguish the white object from transparent.

Picture for reference:

Answer: 
Set artboard background

In the Properties panel (Window > Properties) for the artboard, set the desired value for Artboard Background Color field. You can also set the artboard background to transparent.
Window -> Properties. 
Make sure Artboard is selected. 
See properties panel (that should be visible now) -> In the Artboard background color dropdown select: **Transparent** (white is selected by default).
