Hey there,  
Does anyone know of a way to do a global search and replace (ala Word) either within Evolve or in the published files? Pretty sure you can do it within the platform but wondering if anyone has done it in the published files?

My need is I have to replace Product Specialist with Education Specialist in a couple of my (completed) courses.

Thanks  
S

Hello @Steve - you can export your course json from Course \> Settings \> JSON.

You could then do a search & replace on the resulting file. Once you’ve done this you can re-import the JSON and the changes will be reflected. Do be careful when changing the JSON file as errors may cause issues on your course.
