Add "expand all" flag for annotations
Currently, all point/comment annotations are collapsed by default.
If a user leaves many annotations on a multi page document, this can lead to some point annotations being missed.
There should be an expand all option to mitigate this.

Allow no logo to be displayed via API while allowing customers to display their own logo for standard web app.
It would be best if we could display no logo at all for API-generated embed / previews.

PDF Bookmark for Box Preview
When a PDF files is viewed through a standard browser plugin, a hyperlink can be created to directly navigate to a specific bookmark, but this functionality is missing in the Box Preview.
For instance, if a professor wants to make a textbook reference (to a specific chapter/page number), it would prevent confusion and save the end user from having to scroll through the pages.

Add support for Canon, Nikon, Sony images
Supported by Google Drive.
Canon = .cr2
Nikon = .nef
Sony = .arw5 votesThank you for the submission! This is not planned.
We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.
We suggest using the Open With Preview framework which should give third-parties (the company in this case) the ability to integrate a viewer for these file types as part of Preview.

Live update of comments while in preview mode
We'd like to have comments from other users automatically post & update real time for other collaborators who have the document open in Preview to see. Currently users have to refresh the screen or exit and re-enter the file to see a new comment if they are already in Preview mode

Add support for browser-initiated Print Preview when "showDownload=true" is applied to preview URL
Currently when creating a preview link and using the browser's Print function, the preview (and thus printing) functionality is disabled.
It would be helpful for user experience if the user didn't have to click our printer button in the previewer (which opens a new window then uses the system print preview) and could instead use the system controls for printing (cmd-P for example) if a preview URL is appended with "showDownload=true"
0 votesNot planned. If the customer really wants, they could use our Representation APIs to build the desired flow themselves.

Support Embedded Audio/Video when Previewing PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) Files
Presentations sometimes have embedded audio/video, and when viewing the file in Box Preview, these embedded media components do not render/play.
This request is to allow this embedding to be rendered and exposed in Box Preview.
