reference point within box note
Option to insert anchor/reference point in a Box Note
Box Notes can be lengthy and would be great to be able to insert an anchor within the Box Note so that when directing someone to that spot, they aren't searching the entire Note to find the spot.26 votesUsers can create a shared link to any heading level.

Box Note Table Functions
We want to be able to use equations/functions in Box Notes Tables similar to Excel or Google Sheets functionality. For example, typing AVERAGE = (B2:B4) into cell B5 would find the average of cells B2 through B4.
This would be a very helpful update.
6 votesHi! We didn't add "create and copy button" but currently, if shared link is created, you can just copy the URL from your browser.

Box Notes and Collections
The Box Notes interface, at the moment, only works with Favourites. It'll be great if you could choose a collection to put your Box Note into, directly from the Box Notes interface, as opposed to having to navigate to the Box folder where the note is, then select the collection.

Save box notes in collections
Hi Box Team,
currently I can mark a box note as favorite and it will eventually show up in my favorite folder. However, it would be great if I could add box notes to one or more of my collections. This allows me to better structure the information available on Box.
Thanks
1 voteHi there!
We just released the Collections in Notes feature this week. You should now see the Collections menu item when you go to the “…” menu in your Notes app (next to the share button). Hope this helps!

Create a hyperlink to a point within the same note
Box Notes are wonderful, but after a certain length, they can become unwieldy to navigate. Other services, including Dropbox, offer the ability to hyperlink to a headlines section (text marked as H1, H2) to create a functional contents segment.
Please could we have the ability to hyperlink within documents, at leas to text tagged as a header
27 votesHi. This feature is delivered. Please let us know your feedback to product team - okryvtsova@box.com

I want to add a boxnote to a collection
Let me add a box note into one or more Collections. Seems I currently can only "star" them to put them in my Favourites.
Other files in box show the Collections management options, but box notes do not.

Provide link to Box root or parent folder from within Notes view
While one can navigate to the parent folder when in preview/edit mode on a Box Note by clicking the ellipsis, it's not obvious to those that don’t know about it and can’t find it.
This lack of navigation is likely because of the reliance on using tabs to differentiate notes from the rest of Box. However, this has its shortcomings, as it relies on opening up notes from within Box. I have some bookmarks that go directly to a Box note, so I could never before find a way to get out of the notes view when opening notes this…
6 votesCurrently, in action menu in Note you can find "Save location". This will lead you to the folder where this Note is located. Please let us know if any additional functionality is needed!

Increase number of concurrent Box Notes editors
Box Notes currently allows only 20 concurrent editors. For a conference or other large gathering it may be useful to have 100+. Please consider increasing the limit, or replacing the hard limit with an in-UI warning (e.g., "You have more than 30 people editing and performance may be reduced").
In the meantime, also please clearly document the maximum concurrent user limit and behavior in the KB.
37 votesWe are now supporting 30 concurrent editors. We will aim to increase this limit in the future.

Improved project/task management
Will be great to have some of the Dropbox paper features in Box notes.
1. Improved checklists -- tagging people and having dates (must have)
2. Ability to tag people within the note (great to have)
3. Improved tables -- for ex sorting (nice to have)
4. Creating timelines (nice to have)
5. Adding media30 votesHi! We added tagging people (including comments), date picker, table sorting and formatting. Is possible to include images in Note directly and paste videos through Link preview. We consider this Pulse request as a delivered. Let us know if you have anything else!

When selecting text in a Box Note, you get the option to make a comment related to that selection. We want the ability to @mention there.
You can @mention someone someone in a sidebar comment on a Box Note. You can select text in a Box Note and make a comment related to that selection. But you cannot @mention someone in a comment related to a text selection.
We have a user group that uses Workfront for that specific functionality but would shift that workflow to Box if this functionality was added.

Rethink Box Notes as a Collaborative Tool
Many of the comments about Box Notes, and the shortcomings that make them seem only marginally useful to me, arise from them being treated/implemented as something totally "other", compared to other file types that one might load into Box.
Unlike other files, Box acts as if Notes all belong together rather than in the user's folder structure, and they have their own type of page or tab that is confusingly different from the standard Box interface, rather than simply opening up in an editing window if the user wants to make changes. An editing window would be much more intuitive,…
6 votesThanks for this feedback! It was written a while ago, and I'm glad to say much of what you asked for is now part of Box Notes.
You can now:
- Add bulleted and numbered lists, plus checklists
- Insert images (including pasting them straight in)
- Create tables, apply text colors, and use code/monospaced formatting
- Use headings and font sizing for clearer structure
We've also worked to make Notes feel more like the rest of Box they live in your regular folders and open right where you're working.
We're continuing to improve formatting and the overall editing experience, so please keep the feedback coming. Thanks for helping make Notes better.

Make error message more apparent when slash or back slash is used in Box Notes' title
When slash or back slash is used in the title of Box Notes, it suddenly changes back to its original title as those characters cannot be used.
An exclamation mark icon quietly appears in the right side of the title, but unless I hover over my mouse pointer, it is not apparent why it changed back my title. Please show this error message more apparent (maybe always show it for the first 10 seconds) and/or color exclamation mark icon in red, so that the users can notice what went wrong.2 votes -

Allow for video to be inserted into Box Notes.
I would appreciate the ability to embed videos onto Notes pages for easy viewing – on the page – by page visitors. Even video uploads aren't allowed.
