How to Use Box Notes
Part 1 of 5:
Creating Box Notes
- Go to the destination folder. Navigate through your Box folders directory until you reach the sub-folder where you want to store your new Box note.
- Create a new Box note. Creating a new Box note can be done by clicking on the 'New' button found on the page header menu and then selecting 'New Box Note.'
- Name the new Box note. A pop-up screen will appear for 'Create a Box Note.' Type in the name of your new Box note in the Name field. You can also type in a short description in the Description field.
- Click on the 'Okay' button when you're done.
- Work on your Box note. You will be brought to Box Notes editor where you can start writing your notes.
- Don't worry about saving your work. Just focus on writing your notes without the need to worry about hitting a 'Save' button. There's no 'Save' button anyway. Your work is automatically saved, and your Box Notes file will be saved in the folder you set in step 1, with a file extension '.boxnote'.

Editing Box Notes
- Locate your Box note. Navigate through your Box folders until you find the Box note you'd like to edit.

- Edit the Box note. Work on your note just like before when you created it. No need to save as it's still being automatically saved.
- Format the texts. If you'd like to add some text formatting on your Box note, use the formatting tools found on the toolbar located at the top. The icons and the functionalities for these work similarly with other text and document editors, like MS Word.
- You can apply formats by selecting the text you'd like to change or by selecting them before typing in the new style format.
- You can format the text size, text color, font style, alignment, and bullets or numbering.
