New Feature: Search and Replace

We’ve added a new feature to PressBooks allow you to search & replace content across your entire book.

It works as follows (see below for screencaps):

1. In the left sidebar Menu, select Utilities
2. Select Search and Replace
3. On the S&R page, enter Search string
4. Enter Replace string (leaving blank will just delete the Search string)/
5. Click “Preview Replacements” to see what will get replaced*
   *NOTE: While you get a complete list of strings to be replaced, you cannot select which ones will get replaced, it’s all or nothing.
6. Click “Replace & Save” … to make it happen.

REMINDER: this searches & replaces throughout the whole book, so be careful.
