# Collect Box Enterprise Data

> [!TIP]
> Feature Flag
> 
> The Collection feature is under feature flag. It will not appear in your environment unless it’s manually enabled by Reveal Hold. Contact your Customer Success Manager if you’d like to learn more or request access.

Reveal Hold now integrates with **Box Collection via Onna**. Through this integration, users can create and manage collections directly within the platform. From the Reveal Hold interface, users can define collection parameters such as date ranges, target locations, and collection locations, while the system leverages Onna to automatically create the necessary workspaces and collections, apply relevant filters, initiate data synchronization, and update collection statuses in Reveal Hold.

To enable **Collection**, you first need to have an integration with Box Collection. See this article [Integrate with Box Enterprise](/reveal-hold-new/docs/integrate-with-box-enterprise-1) on how to do that. After Integration, go to Locations, and ensure the Box Enterprise is enabled. See the [Location](/reveal-hold-new/docs/locations-1) article for more information.

To start collecting, follow the steps below.

1. Start by creating a Hold in the **Hold Management** page.
2. After filling out the following fields, click **Save**.

3. Next, the **Draft** Hold screen will open up.

4. Go to the **Custodians** tab to add your custodians.
5. Next, edit your Preservation settings as you would in [Preservation](/reveal-hold-new/docs/preservation-1#edit-preservation-settings).
6. In the Collection tab, select **Edit Collection Settings.**
7. The **Hold Collection Settings** modal will appear.

  1. Check the **Enable data collection issuing this hold** checkbox. When this is enabled, the collection starts when issuing the hold. If unchecked, you need to click **Start Collection** button.
  2. Choose a **Collection Start Date** and **Collection End Date**.
  3. **Target Location** will have **Onna** selected by default. This is the only option.
  4. In the **Collection Locations** you can switch on the toggle to enable the **Box** location.
  5. Enable the **Auto-Sync** toggle to keep data up to date automatically. The data refresh will sync the latest data without requiring a new collection each time. To perform a one-time collection instead, simply turn Auto-Sync off.
  6. Click **Save**.
8. Next, the Collection tab will be updated as below.
