  2. Trigger E-mail notification for annotation comments

    Currently, Box does not send E-mail notifications when a reviewer uses Annotation tools such as Markup, Comment on Region, and Highlight and Comment options, unless our name is mentioned. It would be beneficial if Box could send E-mail notifications even when our names are not mentioned in annotations.
    While Annotations are excellent for adding comments, not receiving e-mail notifications for these comments is a drawback. Please consider implementing this feature.

  3. Comment Reply Thread and integration with Office Comments

    I have recently had to stop people from using the Box comment feature, as it was adding unnecessary tasks to my workflow, because it does not allow the author to respond to comments, and when i open a word document to edit, the comments disappear. Commenting feature needs to integrate with Office in order to be useful for reviewing MS office documents. As the author i 'must' be able to respond, and close comments, AND when i open the document for edit, i MUST be able to see the comments. The MS Office comment feature is fantastic and if Box…

  4. Box for iOS Annotations

    The pen and and marker options when using the Annotations feature within Box for iOS is limited as the lines are often too thick and obscure information on the documents used by our customers.

    The suggestion here is to add a line thickness slider for both the marker and pen options so that users can experience the same pencil thin annotated lines in the Box for iOS Mobile Application as they do when annotating via Box.com

    When I mention some images or files for reference in a comment, I would like to add them as attachments, so whoever read the comment can easily understand what I'm referring to

    When I upload a new document on box.com and I tried to tag all colloborators at the same time, I seems cannot do that. I would need to tag one person at a time to see my new updated file.

    In other platforms, I used @all or @board then it will notify all colloborators at once. This will save lots of my admin time to tag 30 different people in my team.

    Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  7. Add "Like" button to comments

    I would like to "like" comments on the preview so that is is easier to show that I have checked the comment without typing a new comment to say I have checked it.
    We are now getting more use to using reactions from Slack/Teams that it would be nice to react with a "like" or a thumbs up reaction.

    We are planning on adding the ability to resolve comments in the future, but do not have the ability to like comments as part of the roadmap.


    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  8. We would like to be able to use the annotation feature in our Excel files as well.

    We would like to use the annotation function available in PDF and Word files for Excel files as well.
    We would like to see this feature supported for realization, as it improves convenience and leads to increased work efficiency.

  9. Private annotations

    It would be helpful for us to have annotations that are private to the user writing them, rather than being shared with everyone else. This should be a setting an admin would be able to force on a folder so that users can't mistakenly create public annotations.

  11. Ability for another user to "resolve" and / or reply to a comment or annotation

    As a document owner, I want to be able to resolve comments / annotations made by other users. It would also be useful to be able to reply (in a thread) to a comment (e.g., to get clarification.)

  12. Enable spell check in Annotation comments

    Annotation comment pop up windows do not currently have a spell check function. Comments can be modified under the activity section, but spell check doesn't work there either.

  13. Responding to question on the comments section

    it would be good to respond to questions asked in the comments section. Or like, thumbs up etc. Currently you have to start a new comment to respond to a question and it doesn't flow.

  15. Enable option to redact sensitive information manually via Annotations or automatically via Optimal Character Recognition (OCR).

    Enable option to redact sensitive information manually via Annotations or automatically via Optimal Character Recognition (OCR).

    E.g. Box Shield could add OCR functionality to Smart Access for DLP.

  16. Warn users that annotations will not be added to a Word document as comments

    Since Annotations do not get added to Word documents as comments, a warning should be presented to users stating this to avoid any confusion by the user who may be expecting this to happen.

  17. I want to switch pages by swiping pdf or powerpoint on iPad even when in the middle of filling in annotations.

    Sometimes I want to see the other page of pdf when I am in the middle of filling in annotation. However, the current behavior of Box's annotation, you need to save the annotation to move to the other page of pdf or powerpoint.

  18. Want to have an option to skip the "Save" button

    Every time a user finishes writing, the user needs to click Save button. As it is not intuitive and effective so it should be the same UX as iPad's markup (Apple's standard annotation)
