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

Why is this still not a thing?
In reading through this thread, the most helpful tip was to use the CTRL+F feature. This at least gives you the ability to find something page by page. It was very useful to me when a client decided after development they wanted to change the word "manager" to "supervisor."
Jane, Appreciate your comment as I am ignorant as to what it might take to incorporate this feature - and if is truly too much of a technical issue, I'll understand and move on. But this thread seems to have been going around for over 4 years, which I would argue is being pretty patient. :-)
Unfortunately, I do not see it on the current Roadmap for Rise 360:
Articulate 360 - Articulate 360 Feature Roadmap - Articulate Support
What needs to take place and/or how many requests are necessary to get this feature in the queue?My guess is that Find/Replace in Rise is just fundamentally different from the same in Storyline. In a browser-based app the way search works is just... different in the kinds/range of objects being searched and in how that text is organized behind the scenes. So I can be patient that this is taking a while. All I want to know is that they hear us regarding how important this is for course quality and course maintenance.

Come on Articulate, do this please!!
Hi all
Not sure if I'm repeating anything that others have already posted, but the best workaround I've found is to use the course's share link (the url that starts with https://rise.articulate.com/share).
In settings, ensure:
- Navigation Mode is set to Free, not restricted
- Sidebar is set to Open
- Access the share link
- Click the START COURSE button
- In the top left hand corner, you'll see a magnifying glass - click this and do a search - results will show up as per the video screengrab attached.
When you click the results, it will take you straight to the point where the word is, and highlight it.
Tracy - check out my previous post (w/ attached video) on Page 5 using a translation tool called Smartcat. It is a workaround but allows you to import the 'translated' (find and replace) file back into Rise. Smartcat has changed slightly since my creation of the video so you'll want to "Keep the old flow" when prompted when creating a new project. Hope it helps. Alas, all these workarounds could be avoided by simply adding a feature that users have been asking for, for years. What's up Articulate, where is this feature on your roadmap? Inquiry minds want to know.
Sadly, neither is a "solution." You can, in fact, just open two windows, put the thing in preview and search. The translation method is fairly simple and does get the job done. That said, it really needs to be in the tool. I czn't imagine there are a lot of requests folks have that outweigh what expect to be "basic functionality" of an ID tool.

I haven't read all the posts here, but the only work around I've currently found is to export the course to PDF and use the PDF reader find/replace to narrow down where to make changes. But, yes they are painful to do. My example was just that the group decided to change the terminology they were using so instead of calling something "X" throughout the course, when I delivered it to them they now wanted to call it "Y".
+1 yes please, need this asap : )
