New Features, Interface Help Badgers Organize Content On Box

Effective March 17, people who use UW–‍Madison Box may notice a few user interface enhancements, including a new organization feature called Collections.

New Web Interface

The new web interface makes it easier for you to access, find, and organize your content.

No features were deprecated in this new version, however, features were added and moved.

  • When you select a folder row in Box, the Share button was previously located on the right side of the app in the folder detail pane. The Share button is now a primary action in the top action bar.
  • The ability to add an item to Favorites moved out of the top left breadcrumb to the top right of the action bar. You can now add an item to Favorites or My Collections. 
  • All action buttons in the action bar have been optimized for display based on top actions you take in Box.  Any action you no longer see is still accessible in the top action bar.  To see the full list of actions, click the ellipsis button “…”.

Box Collections

Box Collections is a new organizational feature that enables you to create and name private collections of content in your Box account, where you can organize files and folders that you own or share.  And although the content may be shared, your collections are not shared and are visible only to you, so you can organize your content in a way that makes sense for you and your workflow.

To help you better understand what is changing, here is list of helpful articles from Box for your reference:
