2. Enter the collaborator’s full email address.
3. Select the appropriate permission level.
4. (Optional) Enter a personal message.
5. Click Send. 
   
    

 Important: All external collaborators must enroll in two-factor authentication (2FA) with Box in order to access Chico State shared content. Box will guide users through the enrollment process when they receive an invitation. For instructions, visit: Enrolling in 2FA for External Collaboration (Box Support).
