WorkLink Create: Search & Replace (UI Editor)
The Search & Replace tool allows you to quickly find and update text across your entire project, a specific sequence, or just the current step. This feature is specifically designed for text nodes within the UI Editor.
Opening Search & Replace
You can access the Search & Replace window in two ways:
Menu: Go to the Window menu. It is located directly above the History item.
Keyboard Shortcut: * Windows/Linux:
Ctrl + Shift + FMac:
Cmd + Shift + F
How to Use Search & Replace
Enter Search Term: Type the text you want to find in the top search box.
Note: Search is case-sensitive.
Define Scope: Use the dropdown menu in the results section to filter your search by:
This project (Default)
This sequence
This step
Enter Replacement Text: Type your new text in the "Replace with..." box. If you want to delete the searched text entirely, leave this box empty.
Execute:
Replace: Updates the currently highlighted match and automatically moves to the next one.
Replace All: Updates every match within your chosen scope (Project, Sequence, or Step) in one click.
Navigating Results
The results list provides a preview of each match, including the Sequence and Step name.
Clicking a result: The editor will automatically navigate to that specific Step, expand the Page Hierarchy, and select the exact text node for you.
Active Selection: The result currently "queued" for replacement is highlighted in yellow.
Reviewing Changes: After clicking Replace, the entry remains in the list but turns grey with a strikethrough (e.g., ~~bolts~~ screws) so you can verify the change before moving on.
Tips & Undo
Real-time Updates: If you manually edit text in the UI Editor so it no longer matches your search term, the result will automatically disappear from the Search & Replace list.
Undo/Redo: * A single Replace action can be undone with a standard Undo (
Ctrl+Z/Cmd+Z).Replace All is treated as a single batch action—one Undo will revert every replacement made during that operation.
