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

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.

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.

+1 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.

  Alyssa, this one is getting to the point where I think it is clear that folks want it. What can we do to help move this forward?

I would like to add my name on this as well. Our software dev's frequently change titles of buttons, so would like to see a global find and replace.
