Export transparent images using Box Canvas
When exporting Box Canvas as an image, I want to be able to make the background transparent.
Currently, when exporting Box Canvas as an image, the background appears white. Since there are cases where it's more convenient to have no background color when pasting into another medium, I would like the option to export only the elements drawn on the Box Canvas as an image, with the background set to transparent.

Box Canvasを画像としてエクスポートする際に、背景を透過できるようにしたい。
Box Canvasでは画像としてエクスポートする際に、背景は白で表示されます。別の媒体に貼り付ける際、背景色が無い方が使いやすいケースもあるため、Box Canvas上に描画されているもののみ画像化し、背景は透過状態を選択できるようにしてほしい。6 votes -
Automatic Box Canvas Creation Based on Instructions to Box AI
Currently, Box Canvas provides templates, but users still need to create the content themselves each time, which can be burdensome.
To further reduce user workload, I would like to request a feature that allows Box AI to automatically generate a Box Canvas output based on user instructions.
Box AIへの指示でBox Canvasを自動作成：
現在、Box Canvasにはテンプレートが用意されているが、ユーザー自身が毎回コンテンツを作成する必要があり、負担が大きいです。
ユーザーの負担をさらに軽減するために、ユーザーの指示に基づいてBox AIが自動的にBox Canvasを出力する機能を追加してほしい。22 votes -
Report on Auto‑Confirmation Issue During Japanese Input When Using Bulleted Lists (BoxCanvas)
I am using BoxCanvas and would like to report an issue related to text input.
After starting a bulleted or numbered list, if I type double‑byte characters and the IME enters the pre‑conversion state, the text is automatically confirmed and I cannot input it correctly（At that time, I was using Japanese input）. This behavior has already been resolved in BoxNotes.The pace of improvements to BoxCanvas, BoxNotes, and other features has been remarkable. I appreciate the Box team’s continuous efforts and look forward to future enhancements.

Font selection for canvas text
Box Canvas already provides a solid text formatting toolbar - bold, italic, underline, colour, highlight, alignment, and lists are all supported. However, there is no way to change the font, leaving users locked into a single default typeface across the entire canvas.
For teams using Box Canvas for presentations, client-facing outputs, or brand-aligned workshops, this is a significant limitation. Font choice is a basic expression of brand identity and visual hierarchy - two things that matter the moment a canvas leaves an internal team and faces an external audience.
Every comparable tool - Miro, Figma, FigJam, Lucidspark - offers font…

Middle-click pan in mouse navigation mode
Box Canvas already handles this correctly for trackpad users - in trackpad mode ("Swipe two fingers to pan"), a two-finger swipe pans the canvas regardless of which tool is active. Mouse users don't have the same experience.
In mouse navigation mode, middle-click is a duplicate of left-click across all tools and scenarios. There is no way to pan while the Select tool is active without first switching to the Hand tool, breaking the editing flow on large canvases.
This has been raised in a related request (Explain navigation mode https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/46235944-explain-navigation-mode), but the core behaviour gap deserves its own focused…

Object-level comments on Canvas items
Box Canvas doesn't support commenting directly on individual objects - sticky notes, shapes, frames, etc. Every other major canvas tool (Miro, FigJoy, Lucidspark) offers this as standard.
Without it, collaborators are forced to describe where something is rather than what they mean - "the green sticky in the top-right frame" instead of just tagging the object and leaving the instruction. This adds ambiguity, slows async collaboration, and creates unnecessary back-and-forth.
The ask:
Allow users to anchor comments directly to canvas objects, so feedback and instructions are always tied to the right context - regardless of who's viewing the canvas or…1 vote -
Export objects from Box Canvas
It has become very convenient to be able to export the entire Box Canvas as a PNG file.
However, it would be even more useful if individual objects on the Canvas could be copied and pasted into PowerPoint as separate objects.

Mouse Drag + Option to copy/duplicate an element.
Most tools like Powerpoint, Google Slides, Figma, FigJam, Miro , etc. support holding a key and drag an element to create a copy. This the fastest way to copy elements around the page such as to create copies of post-its, squares, etc. In Box canvas, I can pick an item, copy and paste and then I have to select the copied item and move it to where I want. Drag copying does all that in one motion.

Box Canvas Session Time Improvements
The session duration of the Box Canvas is affected by the "Session Duration for All Users".
Therefore, in Box Canvas, if you exceed the time set for "Session Duration for All Users", you will be returned to the login page when you refresh the Box Canvas page.
To avoid this, you will need to navigate the Box Web UI or refresh the page.
I'd like to see improvements so that the session doesn't time out while editing Box Canvas.【In Japanese】

Height and width of sticky notes in BoxCanvas
BoxCanvas sticky notes can only be resized in a square shape.
Although you can arrange sticky notes freely on the whiteboard, it is inconvenient that you cannot make them longer just vertically or just horizontally.
Set anchor points on the sides as well so you can resize it freely.

we want a feature that allows users to add images of each page of a document in Box Canvas.
Onenote has a same kind of feature. We are thinking ot switch from OneNote to Box Canvas, so we want to add images of each page and then add comments to those images.
currently we can not add each page of a PDF including 100 or more pages on Canvas.5 votes -
Feature request for display of overlapping connector wires in Box Canvas
I would like to see an improvement in the display when the connect lines overlap.
Connect lines intersect in a straight line, but I would like to see the addition of a feature that avoids them when they do, like Omni Graffle or Microsoft Visio.
I will attach an image for reference.【In Japanese】
