Ability to highlight single column in box notes.
You can't currently highlight a single column in box notes, but you can highlight a single row. This would be helpful for formatting and organization.
2 votesUnfortunately, we are unable to accommodate this request on a one-off basis. Thank you for your suggestion!

Mobile App for Box Notes (Standalone)
Allow users to access Box Notes via a standalone app model on iOS / Android to make the overall experience more native.
22 votesThis is a great idea. However, it is not aligned with our prioritization for the year. We will let you know if anything changes.

Notes Desktop App - Add App to Mac & Windows App Stores
We push users toward downloading software from the Mac and Windows App Stores, especially the Mac App Store as that is Apple's officially 'approved' method for downloading software to a computer.
3 votesThanks for the feedback! App store versions of our desktop app are not currently planned on our roadmap. We’ll continue to monitor and may revisit in a future planning cycle based on customer feedback.

Add support to import notes with specific file types (such as .ENEX) from other systems like Evernote
Implementing a more seamless way to migrate their data would help us adopt and use Box Notes as our main repository for notes and note taking.
1 voteThis is a resource-intensive request which is not on our short-term roadmap. We will update you if anything changes.

Allow change page size, change orientation, more fonts or font colors in Box Note
Adding more option to customize Box Note (font, format, orientation etc.) for better UX
6 votesWe intend Box Notes to be for casual documents. Meeting notes, project plans, etc.
It’s not intended for flyers, fancy collateral, perfectly formatted PDFs. For those, we still recommend a program like Microsoft Word.
We do not plan to add these types of things to Box Notes.

Ability to lock sections of a Box Note
Currently, if a user has edit permissions on a Box Note, they can edit any part of it. We would like the ability to "lock" certain blocks of text and table headers in a note so that other users do not modify or delete these accidentally.
8 votesWe’ll keep this in mind! However, this is not currently planned.

Notes Desktop App - Allow Multiple Windows
Users may want to have multiple Notes open at the same time. Request is to allow a user to 'double click' a note in the list on the left sidebar to open it in its own window (exactly the same UX that the native Mac Notes app already has).
1 voteThis is not a priority for the team at this time. We will reconsider with additional customer demand.

Provide a Box Note Realtime API so we can create new Box Notes from our custom apps
Our users would like to be able to create a new Box Note from their own custom app menu bar.
This note would be saved in the folder from which they clicked the icon.
2 votesThank you for your note! This is not planned for the foreseeable future. We will re-evaluate this request with additional customer demand.

Tables - Ability to Copy a Row and Paste into a Table in A Different Box Note
Requesting ability to copy a Box Note row and paste into another Box Note table (preserving formatting and links). Currently, you can paste into a new table this way, not an existing table in our testing.
Rationale: Ease of use, consistent ability to cut and paste
23 votesWe understand this use case, however it is not a current priority for the team. We will let you know if anything changes.

Ability to add attachments to Box Notes
As a collaborative editing tool, attaching related materials would be useful in many situations (today, we upload the attachments & link to them, but this presents access limitations & additional steps.)
This is essentially already allowed with the upload ability of image types, but given file level collaboration, having attachments would solve numerous issues our teams are starting to encounter.
3 votesThis is not a current focus area for the Box Notes roadmap. We are happy to reconsider with additional demand.

Box Note Visual Share Indicator
Security would like users to be able to see at a glance that a Box note is shared or not. Something like how the folder icon changes on the web app when a folder is shared.
We are more concerned about it now that Box Notes is consolidated and it's not always quickly visually clear (inside a Notes Tab) where the Note resides and whether it's collaborated.
