Ability to Pin Box note to the top of a box folder
I would like to be able to pin a box note to the top of the folder list within a box folder. (I set up folders for project teams and I generate a box note for the document and information management guidelines for the team. It would be good if it was at the top of the list (or pinned to the side).

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)

そのため、他のファイルと同様にZonesに保存できるようにしてほしい。11 votes -
Shortcut for creating code block
It would be a great improvement to be able to create the code blocks while typing with keyboard shortcuts (or short-words). Quite standard across editors is for example the triple backtick (```).
I see it already works for numbered lists (you just need to type "1. ") or quote by typing "> ".1 vote -
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.

Change Back Bullet/Numbering/Checkbox on Box Notes
I have tried reporting this as a bug, though I have been told it is an "expected behavior" - Users used to be able to change individual lines' bullet formatting - but now, if you change a line, it changes ALL LINES above and below to the selected formatting (bullet/numbering/checkbox). Even if you highlight a single line, all lines above and below get changed with it. Please change this back to how it was!

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

Add 'undo' function when updating Box Notes
It is good the file is automatically saved frequently. But the problem is once I delete something accidentally, I have to retype all of them again because I cannot undo what I have just done. It will be more convenient if there is such an "Undo" function like what they have in the office system. Thanks!

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.

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.

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

Word count for Box Notes
It would be very helpful if Box Notes had a word count feature so our team could use it to draft text that will be plugged into word or character limited online forms. Thanks.
