Does Rise have the feature of "find and replace"?
Hello all,
I am going to find and replace a word with some other word in RISE. Do you know if RISE has the same feature/tab as Storyline 360 that can find and replace the word throughout the whole course? I couldn't find any post related to this RISE issue.
Thank you very much in advance!

+1 for me - it would save a lot of time!
Yes, please make this a feature in RISE 360!
When reviewing RISE content, just do a CTRL+F and you can search the page just like any webpage. You can't replace but you can search. It'll help at least.
Hi Amy,
I have a workaround that provides a 50% solution.
Under Course / THEME / Navigation settings I turn on the Search function.
Then I preview the course, select Search and enter the text that I'm looking for.
Rise will search the course and list all locations/lessons that have a matching phrase/word, and list how many times that phrase/word occurs in each lesson. If you follow the link to each lesson, Rise will highlight each matching occurrence.
I then open the same course in a different tab in Edit mode, and when I find one occurrence in Preview mode, I find and make the change in Edit mode.
While you still have to go back to Edit Mode and manually make the replacement edits, the ability to find occurrences and locations is still valuable to me
Yes, please! These days I rely more on Rise 360 than Storyline, so please make this a feature!!!
Please add my "Yes" vote to that as well.
Please add my vote. We need this feature. Thank you!
This is what we do as a workaround.
I launch RISE 360 in Chrome and open the module I'm interested in in EDIT mode. Then using Ctrl+F (Find) or choosing Settings -> Find I put the word I'm looking for in the search box.
This then gives me a navigable structure that allows me to move around the open document.
When I see the word I'm looking for I can immediately overtype the word. Or, where we have a phrase to replace, I'll put the replacement phrase or word in a Notepad document then copy and paste it from NotePad over the text to overwrite the occurrence.
This is quite fast and saves having to have two copies of the Rise module open at the same time.
I haven't tried it yet, but you can export content from RISE in an XLIFF format for translation and I was wondering if the export file could be opened in an Editor, then find and replace applied, then reimport the changed XLIFF file.
Regards, Stan.
Thank you, Stan. This is great!

Ok I looked and this was brought up over 2 years ago. What will it take for the function to be added to Rise?
Thanks, Stan. I have tried duplicating the course, exporting it to XLIFF, editing the XLIFF in Notepad (performing a find/replace there) and then importing the revised XLIFF file back into my duplicate course. I get the message that the file was imported successfully, but when I look, the changes did not port over. Can anyone tell me where I may have gone wrong in using the XLIFF process in the Rise 360 Course Settings under the Translation tab?
NOTE: It would be awesome if there was a HTML view/editor built into Rise 360. This would solve 99% of the issues I have run into so far.
Hello Pamela,
You'll need to edit the translation file that you got in Rise 360 using a valid translation tool like Smartcat for the changes that you made to appear on your course. Editing a file using Notepad or something similar will not have any effect on your course once the translation file is imported.
Please add my vote. This is one major frustration of working in Rise. Would make life so much easier :)
Add my vote as well to update Rise with a "find and replace" feature.
Thank you!Regards,
