Find and Replace - Text

It would be great to have a generic "find and replace" inside the edit menu like most text editors have. What would be even better is if you could select the find and replace function to use the current art board, or all art boards. This is super helpful if you're mocking up redundant content that has a slight name change between screens.

    It would be really helpful to have a simple find/replace tool for text. I haven't found any way to easily do this and I think it should be something that's built in; am I missing something? The functionality I want is to be able to simply search for all instances of a word or phrase, such as "hello", and replace all instances with another, such as "goodbye". This would mirror the functionality of the Find/Change tool in InDesign.

    I realise that this has been requested before in 2016 but nothing seems to have been done about it. If this feature already exists or if there's an appropriate plugin please could somebody point me in the right direction.

    Thanks

    well, i used to have a lot of artboard and i mess up finding the specific text. Finding and "Finding and replacing" functionality on the Adobe Xd would be very handful for million of designers.

    Thank you

    Im using a plugin for this, but this doenst work well combined with multiple artboards, groups and repeating grids. Would be really helpfull to have this functionality in XD. It's a small but powerfull addon.

    I needed to change an adress in about 50 screens and it happens quite often! Highly necessary!!

    I completely agree. Find and Replace-tool is highly necessary.

    We are unable to fully migrate our prototypes to XD without this feature.

    Any large project can't be maintained without text Find and Replace.

    I agree, I would love this feature. Especially as a content strategist who works inside XD on all of the time, I'd like to be able to quickly find text on multiple artboards in one file.

    Hi XD Team,
    It would be nice to extend the search function in order to find text inside a particular layer.

    For instance :
    - In my layers, i have one called "some text" which contains the sentence "Adobe XD is very nice to use."
    - I search the word "nice"
    - The layer "some text" is highlighted or better the word on the artboard is colored / framed or selected (if it is the only result).

    It would be faster to find and replace word or terms in our design or prototypes.

    Thanks ;)
