Guide to "Find and Replace" Tool

Use our "Find and Replace" tool to update text across a handbook efficiently.

Our Find and Replace tool allows for fast and consistent text updates across a handbook. It is ideal for bulk edits, maintaining consistency, fixing repeated typos, updating company names, or applying global changes without manual editing. This feature helps save time and ensures content accuracy throughout the document.


Step 1: Within the AirMason editor, use the keyboard shortcut Control + H to open the "Find & Replace" tool. A pop-up window will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Tip: The panel has two tabs. "Find Text" is for the text in your document; "Find Anchor ID" lets you search for anchor IDs instead.
​

Step 2: In the "Find" field, enter the word or phrase to be located across the document.

Step 5: Tick "Only match words with the same capitalization" if capitalization needs to match exactly.

In the example below, ticking the box drops the match count from 4 to 3 because the page title "Background Checks" is capitalized differently from the search term.
