Box is continuously looking for ways to improve collaboration. One way is by adding new activity features to make it easier to see who updated a file and how.
Late last year, Box added the ability to quickly see who’s looked at or edited a Box Note recently. This “Presence” feature displays user avatars in the header of Notes. Now Box brings a similar experience to the Box Web App for all file types. Collaborators, with permission, will see avatars in the header of the Preview page whenever other collaborators have recently previewed, edited, or commented on that file. This change will gradually roll out beginning April 18, 2018 and finish by April 30, 2018. Learn more about this update.
