The Find and Replace is a tool in the Metadata Panel that allows the user to search for a word, phrase or special characters, so long as they are all immediate succession of one another within a specified metadata field, or multiple specified metadata fields and replace it with another word(s).

 

Note:

Find and Replace will not work on Drop-Down menus, Radio buttons and Data selection metadata fields. Those fields will be removed as option to search when Find and Replace is activated.

 

 

Note:

One image must be highlighted to activate the Metadata Panel, same as you would to edit a metadata field. The image does not have to be selected using the select check box, simply highlighted.
