Using Collections and Annotations in Box

Quick Links: | Collections | Annotations |

Collections

Box Collections allows you to create and name private collections in your Box account, organizing files and folders you own or share. While the content within collections may be shared, your collections themselves are private and visible only to you.

With Box Collections, you can:

  • Organize your Box content into custom groupings
  • Name groupings in a clear, meaningful way
  • Quickly locate the content you need

Box offers a video tour on its support site to help you get started with Collections, along with additional written documentation on using this feature.

Annotations

Box Annotations allows you to mark up almost any file directly in Box Web without using additional applications. Simply open the document in Box Preview, select an area to highlight, and add your question or comment. All comments are recorded in the File Activity pane, displaying the commenter’s name, comment time, and page number.

Note: This feature is not currently available for Excel files.

You can find more documentation about the Annotations feature in Box on their support site.
