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 just started working in Rise as an editor, so search and replace would save an incredible amount of time vs. having to find locations of a certain phrase or abbreviation throughout all the tabs, cards, and other hidden areas of the courses.
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.
So glad that tip will help you, Kerry! By the way, replying via email includes your signature with contact information in the public forum. Feel free to edit your reply here.
I need it too, at the moment I am exporting to PDF and finding the words, but then have to change them one at a time. The Find and Replace function should ideally work for a group of courses.
As of late, I have been opening Rise in one window in preview (so I can search) and another window to edit manually. We recently had a role change names and it took some hours to go "fix" all my content.
Something I have done is exported to SCORM, dumped the zip in a good text editor and done the find and replace that way before re-zipping and uploading to the LMS. It is brute-force, but it does work better than my lack of attention to detail.

Thanks for your +1's folks! It helps us to know how in-demand this feature is.

Please count me in for this feature. Manual find and replace in all lessons is a horror ))

Any news on when we might see this needed feature?
Hi there Eric,
While this feature isn't on our immediate roadmap, we do make note of every request! Thanks for letting us know this feature is important to you.
I would also like to see this feature!

This will help in a pinch. Thanks so much!

Same here all, I would think since we can search in preview, it would be fairly trivial, no?

Agreed,

This is a must feature
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.
Any news on this feature?
