# Search & Replace

Search & replace allows the designer to **search and replace content** across the Editor from one central place.

| Save significant editing time | Replace words and phrases selectively or all at once |
| Reduce manual effort          | Expand results for clarity before replacing          |

### Where can I find search & replace?

Search & replace is available from:

1. **Master Events List (MEL)**
2. **Persona library** (historical content)
3. **Pattern of Life** (PoL)

Search & replace can be accessed via an icon of a **magnifying glass**, found at the bottom-right of the screen:

Search for specific words and type below what you want to replace them with. You can select individual injects, or *Select all* to replace all usages:

`▼` keeps your last search. `✕` closes panel and resets search
{% endhint %}

### :zap:Formatting & smartwords

* **Formatting is not preserved** so replacements will be inserted as plain text
* Leaving the field empty or typing only a space will **delete the word**
* The platform treats all words as static, so **Smartwords are replaced like normal text**
