We’re excited to announce several new features and enhancements coming to Box Canvas that will make your content creation and virtual whiteboarding experience even better! Persistent Connector SettingsBox Canvas now allows you to retain your preferred connector settings, including connector type, color, style, curve, weight, and end-point styles. These settings are saved for each board, user, and device, with no expiration. To change your preferred connector settings, simply select the connector settings that you would like for that board, and the same settings will be retained for next use. Multicolor Text in ObjectsWe’re introducing multicolor text functionality within objects, allowing you to apply different font colors in a single object. Mass Object EditingBox Canvas is making it easier to edit multiple objects at once. With mass object editing, you’ll be able to select multiple objects and update shared properties—like color, font size, text style, and more—in a single action.  Stay tuned as we continue to enhance Box Canvas to make your workflows smoother and your creative possibilities endless!

Note: connectors cannot be rotated at this time. Object rotation snapping: When rotating an object, at every 45 degree angle, it will (subtly) “snap” into place since these are standard rotation preferences. Alignment guides: When resizing an object’s height or width, alignment guides are now displayed in context with other objects to help make it easier to line up things.
