Recommendation
At this time, this feature is enabled for the entire UW-Madison M365 tenant. Technical Support recommends completing this login process to add Box as a connected service in Microsoft 365 apps. This will enable co-authoring (real-time collaborative editing) and autosave for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents stored in Box.

When using this feature:
- Files may be slightly slower to open and close.

Disabling the Prompt
There is no way to disable this prompt on macOS at this time.
Technical Support can configure individual Windows devices to disable this Box integration and suppress the prompt. Please contact Technical Support to request this change.
