It seems off that there's no 'find and replace' feature in Zendesk Guide. The editor is very limited in terms of what it can do, is this on the roadmap?

    Hi Zoe, 

    Thanks for sharing your feedback. The editor isn't one of the areas of focus for the current development cycle, but it could be considered in the future. 

    If other users are interested in similar find and replace type of functionality, please up-vote Zoe's post, and add any details in the comments below.

    This would be amazing. I often find myself copy/pasting all the HTML into an external editor to find and replace multiple items and then pasting it back in but it would be great to have that functionality in Zendesk.

    YES! Find and Replace would be a massive help!

    Hi Casey & Alex, 

    How frequently does this need come up for you? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? 

    How many articles do you think you would use it on? 

    May 14, 2021

    For us it would be weekly to monthly we when need to replace links to a software program or other items that get updated normally.

    Plus one for adding this feature - we don't need it regularly but when we do it'd be a huge value add.

    Hi Nicole,
    It's really disappointing to hear that the article editor is not one of the features in the development cycle as it seems like it's definitely in need of some attention. There's a good few features it would benefit from having including find and replace, co-editing, image uploading enhancements, hyperlinking enhancements, more styling tools, etc.
    When will the article editor be in the development cycle?

    I would say we would probably use it weekly. Over time, it could be hundreds of articles.

    We would use it irregularly but for lots of articles at once.

    Just found out that there is already a find and replace tool.
