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!  

Regards

Ange

    +1 for me!

    The big payoff of this feature for us is in the maintenance of large curriculums. If my company changes terminology on a piece of tech or a customer program, which happens often, it's far less of an investment in ID time for my team if we're not visually searching all our courseware paragraph by paragraph. If we simply have to open the course and find/replace, we've saved HOURS. 

    We are, in fact, in that place right now, with a 21-course, 20-hour curriculum where the name of one of our internal programs has changed. We'll spend up to 20 hours on making these changes, whereas with Find/Replace it would take maybe an hour. 

    Thank you!

    Can we host a hackathon and help develop the code required for this MUCH NEEDED feature?

    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.

      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!

      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!
