Find and replace allows you to search for a keyword/phrase across your project's articles and category pages and replace the text in the desired articles and category pages.

Find: Only words and numbers
Replace: Words, numbers, and selective special characters

This feature works similarly to those in legacy tools such as Microsoft Office. You don't need to enter the Markdown or HTML syntax. Just enter content that is available in your Knowledge base site and replace it instantly. This saves time and reduces the manual effort involved in such a task.
