Find & Replace in Rise 360?

I found some older posts about this topic, so I'm looking for current information. 

Is there a find & replace text feature in Rise 360 now?

Thank you!

    Adding to the many many many Articulate customer desperately needing this feature.

    Our company recently changed our branding. Absolutely no way to find and replace banner colors other than manually trudging through our hundreds of course files to find and update every one individually. Same with a recent product name update. Marketing do this stuff all the time. There has ot be a smarter way.

    PLEASE! There are requests and discussions for this going back at least 8 years. Surely it's time.

      There is a new feature in beta that includes find-and-replace. I haven't tried it yet, but you can find out more here.

    Fantastic. Thank you JudyNollet​ for looping that in. It certainly is tucked away, and has some definite limitations at this stage, but it's a massive step forward.

    Basic test to change a word. Response:

    - "All editable text and metadata within the lesson 'Features' were updated to replace every instance of 'DIN' with 'DOG'."

    - "Some blocks with unsupported types were not edited, so instances of 'DIN' may remain in those specific blocks."

    The second part annoyed me, because it puts you back in the same position of needing to manually identify where all the missed/unsupported instances are. But, I asked "are you able to identify all instances where DIN was not updated to DOG?" and it gave me a list of everything it skipped. So at least now I know exactly what I need to fix manually.

    I then tried getting it to change the color or words, but it can't do that yet: "I can only update text and text metadata right now — not colors or other visual styling."

    So it has a way to go, but at least it's taken the first step.
