Find and replace in Rise?
Hi team
Loving Rise and the enhancements that keep coming through.
One that would be extremely useful is find and replace. I can find on the page I'm on using Ctrl+F but to be able to make blanket changes across the course would be fantastic!

I have a crude workaround that provides a 50% solution.
Under the Course Navigation settings I turn on the Search function.
Then I preview the course, select Search and enter what 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.
EDIT: I open the same course in a different tab in edit mode, and when I find one occurrence in Preview mode, I 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 what's valuable to me.

This will help in a pinch. Thanks so much!

I created this video to demonstrate a (fairly simple) way we found to perform a "find and replace" for an entire Rise course until that feature is implemented directly into Rise.
Note: You will need to create a (free) Smartcat account (a web-based translation tool)
Apologies for the large (9Mb) video file.- ChrisRosso-cfd8Community Member
Bill,
That is a super-cool work-around. I have been dropping the SCORM folder into an edtor and doing it that way, then re-zipping and uploading to the LMS At least this way it is easy to edit moving forward. Nice work!

Thanks, Bill! Super helpful! We maintain multiple versions of courses because of branding and country differences. It's so time-consuming to switch out product names manually. This should be a great workaround for us!

Brilliant Bill. thanks so much

We're currently going through a rebrand process for all of our training (100+ courses) that involves renaming products in each course. A find and replace feature would be absolutely amazing for the 3000+ instances that currently have to be manually done one at a time.

For those looking for a workaround, try publishing the course as a PDF and searching in there. It is still a pain because you have to go into Rise to fix things, but at least you will have an idea where to look.

It has been over a year since we have heard anything from the "staff" on this and it has been over 5 years and 156 "replies" about or requesting this feature. As it is not currently posted on the future road map for Rise 360 (Articulate 360 - Articulate 360 Feature Roadmap - Articulate Support) that suggests that is not coming soon either. It would be nice to know where the staff sees this on their priority list or if there is some other 'technical' issue that keeps it from being implemented as it appears that there is enough demand. Just curious.

I would also like to see an find and replace option in rise as we regularly need to make changes in bulk.
Thanks

I too would like this feature. As a work around, I copied all my text from Rise, and pasted it in MS Word and then used the Find feature there. MS Word marked all the locations I needed make the applicable changes.

Pretty silly to have to do so, but ingenuity is the mother of invention.

Can we host a hackathon and help develop the code required for this MUCH NEEDED feature?
- ChrisRosso-cfd8Community Member
I'm down and happy to contribute.
Articulate? What say you?

I am curious as to how many requests need to be made before we can expect an update. This is a pretty simple and much needed fix.
