Recent Box Notes design update - I need table width consistency, dislike the off-page scrolling
I use Box Notes quote a bit throughout every day and am really struggling with this new design update, especially to the tables formatting. I use a new table for each day's notes, and make a new file every month.
This design update has completely messed up the formatting of each table's size: some horizontally scroll off page, some truncate columns and cut words in half, and none are default to width of page. It's extremely disorienting and has set me back quite a few hours.

Ability to save Box Notes to Zones
Even though I subscribe to Box Zones, all of my Box Notes content is stored in the US.
Therefore, I would like to be able to store it in Zones just like any other file.(In Japanese)

Home & End Keyboard Button Support
Hello,
The home & end buttons in box notes move the view to the beginning/end of the document, where the expectation precedent that other text editors have set is that the cursor moves to the beginning and end of the line.
If this is possible, it would be an amazing feature so that I can interoperate between my usual text editors (VS Code, IntelliJ, etc) and box notes without having to readjust my keyboarding habits.

troublesome 'Saved' and 'What's New' button placement in Notes window
The 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons in the bottom right corner of the Notes window are frustrating in their placement. As I write in Notes, these two buttons constantly obscure my text so that I need to stop typing and hit return several times to 'raise' my text in the Notes document away from those buttons . . . only to (several lines later) find myself in the same situation: the text I'm typing is hidden by the 'Saved' and 'What's New' buttons. Surely there's a better way to display these buttons without obscuring where we type. Thank you.

Box to remember defaults when viewing a Box note
Currently every time I open any Box note, I have to click the button to show/hide the file location to hide it (avoid unnecessarily sharing details of Box notes when screen sharing) and also the "extra wide" view option to better use my screen real estate.
I'd like Box to remember these settings as over the days, weeks and months of use, the time used must add up. I like that for the current browser session it remembers the settings, but I am asking for this memory to extend over logins and browser closes.

Recent Box Notes design update - make optional the in-table adjusts
I type into cells in tables and find it disorienting that they now highlight to allow for changes. I would prefer this to be an optional UI, and be able to opt out and revert to old design where I had to click on top icons to remove or add cells.

Co-authoring name display
Per the recent update to Box Notes, you no long can see the names of the people co-authoring the Note consistently while working. They now only show up as a line in the document making it very difficult to locate, especially when the Note gets very large. Please bring back the display of names at all times

Box Notes API / Integration with icalendar standard
Hello,
I'm one of the devs of DAVx⁵, the leading open source sync solution on Android. We're using open standards like WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV. People can access their files and sync calendars, contacts, tasks, notes and journals to their Android device.
We already can provide access to box.com files via WebDAV for users which is great. They can access their files from box.com on Android seamlessly.
But DAVx5 can also synchronize Tasks, Notes and Journals using CalDAV and the VJOURNAL and VTODO standards (jtx Board on Android is one app that is using VJOURNAL and VTODO for example).
It would be really…

Images pasted in BoxNotes are not displayed due to the "Shared links expiration settings".
If you have enabled the "Shared links expiration settings", images pasted on BoxNotes will also have that expiration date setting.
Therefore, after the expiration date has passed, images pasted on BoxNotes will no longer be displayed in BoxNotes.
We would like to see the specification changed so that images pasted on BoxNotes are not affected by the "Shared links expiration settings".2 votes -
Box Note editing enhancements - Cut/Copy/Paste lists, tables, wiki, etc.
Many of the requests I see for Box Notes seem to have one thing in common: The editor is not compatible with other editors or even with itself.
Lists:
- Copying a list from slack, outlook, word, or any other source (especially if it is multi-level) ends up removing all the indentations, numeric/letter/bullet, and other nuances of that list. So, not only can we not import or export an entire box note, we also cannot simply cut and paste a list into and out of box note from other applications.Tables:
- To copy a table row to another table…5 votes -
Move checked off items to the bottom of list
It would be fantastic if you have a list in Box note, the items you mark as "complete" get moved to the bottom of the list.

Support Box Notes in Dark Mode
"notes are presented in a webview, so there are always black-text-on-white-background. We’d love to have it black-on-white, which should be doable by adjusting mobile css with dark appearance" - iOS Team

Drag to re-order lists and tables in Box Notes
I use lists in Box Notes quite frequently for lists of tasks or priorities. After entering the list items, I often wish to reorder the items. If you could add a simple drag to re-order list items behavior, lists would be a far more useful capability within notes.
This same drag to re-order functionality would also be very useful in tables within Box Notes
The best implementation that I have seen is in the OSX notes app, where a faint grabber icon appears next to the row and column of a table that you are editing. You can re-order rows…

Accessible text colors in Box Notes
Update text colors in Box to be accessible, WCAG-compliant color options. The option to create useful Box Notes by using text color is a nice feature, but most of the color options provided (other than black) do not meet even AA contrast standards and are difficult to read even with typical eyesight.
Minimally, the colors used in the suggested templates and on badges throughout Box should be accessible.

Ability to search box note’s content
Box notes are currently only searchable by the title of the note. We’d like to be able to search the content of the notes in addition to the titles.

Box notes should have variable width
Box notes look silly when shared on a widescreen. Tables all scrunched into imaginary paper proportions. You should offer an option to dynamically widen the box note (and its contents) as the window widens.

My Box Notes folder created for all users
Currently, 'My Box Notes' folder only gets created if you have an open folder structure. This folder should get created regardless of open vs closed structure so users can easily view all Box Notes.

Always on top and transparent window
Hello. I use box notes to track and later share everything happening in an incident. So I need to type in or paste things in the note constantly... might be from a chat, whatever. So it would be very useful to have it always on top of the screen while I open and close other apps... and for Notes to not mess with my view when I only have 1 monitor, it would be very useful to be able to play with the transparency of the window. Thank you!!

Create Pages and collapsable sections within Box Notes
Add a feature that allows multiple Pages and Sections within a single Box Note, similar to OneNote.
Also add a feature that allows for a collapsible section within a single Box Note - for example to use for different topics at an event, or different days at a conference - instead of making a new Note for each topic/day.
