What triggers and actions can I use when integrating Box with OneNote?
When integrating Box with OneNote, you can use triggers such as 'New File' in Box to create a corresponding note in OneNote. Actions can include creating new notes in OneNote or appending content to existing notes based on updates in Box files.
Do I need any special permissions to integrate Box with OneNote?

How do we handle file uploads from Box to OneNote?
File uploads from Box can be handled by creating a new note in OneNote with the contents of the file. You can set triggers for when a new file is uploaded in a specific folder to automatically generate new notes.
Can we sync updates between Box files and existing OneNote notes?

Is it possible to track changes made in Box through OneNote?

What happens if a file is deleted from Box after integration? Will it affect the related Note?
