Universal Search-and-Replace

in progress

Equal Pigeon

A search-and-REPLACE option in Codex so we can change the names of characters / objects / locations universally across multiple entries with one click. It would save a lot of time instead of manually updating each separate Codex entry.

Q: Has teamNovelcrafter stopped development?

Coherent Boa

It sounds so basic and seems so easy to implement. Hard to imagine it's not there - it's a basic text editor function.

Widespread Crow

Agreed. I would love to have this to rename characters.

Arctic lime Chickadee

I just realized this feature doesn't exist! That's crazy. I just wanted to rename a character. Thankfully he's only in 3 chapters so far.

Decisive Mackerel

We definitely need the search and replace/find function. I can't believe you don't have it already.

Past Antelope

Yes, please, we need that feature, is essential in any writing system

Allied Tyrannosaurus

This is such a key feature, I don't understand how it's not been implemented already

Pleasant Gibbon

Has this been in progress since 2023?

Opera mauve Spoonbill

It's so basic that you assume that it already exists until you actually need it and you don't have it.

Main Butterfly

Spent the entire day uploading my novels in two separate series, only to discover, as I begin to edit, that there is no Find & Replace. Everyone a Founder/Dev/Genius. And we in the real world continue to suffer.

Nice also to see that this feature request is from 2023, and I'm leaving this commment in 2026.
