    Hey  

    What types of files are you looking to edit (e.g. doc, docx, boxnote)?

    Scripting on Box typically takes place against our API (documentation found here) and we don't have a script hosting mechanism like Google Scripts so any code you want to run has to be executed locally from your computer, another cloud hosting platform like glitch.com or heroku.com, or pure javascript that you drop in your browser's developer console

    Unfortunately, we don't have documentation for how to navigate our web experience with javascript and doing this with the API will require additional steps in order to authenticate (verify you're permitted to make these changes), read the file, and then write back to the file. 

    Another Boxer or Box expert in our forums may be able to provide you with more guidance than I have, but I wanted to provide some initial context since I suspect this has been a big change between Google Apps and Box. 🙂
