Hi there, 

I'm a qualitative researcher, working with text (interviews and fieldnotes). I use annotations (not comments) in Box notes to "code" the data, applying brief summaries to chunks of text, much like I would using the comments feature in a Word doc. What's nice about the latter is that it's easy to copy and past all the comments from a Word doc into another doc - that's hard to do with annotations in Box Notes since I can't seem to copy all the annotations. Is there a way to collate all the annotations from a Box Note, so I don't have to copy and paste each one?

Thanks! - JP

Hi John, 

Welcome to the Box Community and thanks for your post in the forum!

We appreciate you sharing your use case here, unfortunately, there isn't a way to collate all the annotations from a Box Note.

If this is something you would like to be able to do, I would highly recommend submitting this feature request at pulse.box.com!

Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.
