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.

Agree - I use XD tzo visualize Dashboards with more than 30-40 Artboards - and if just one Label changes I habe to update them manually ... hours of work for what could be half an hour just to fix some design issues

This would be fantastic for designing a lot of data tables.

One of the first things I looked for in the Edit menu ;) Any status on this?

Searching text and replacing it would help a lot. Or real links to external test files to update in ms word.

After just spending 4 hours replacing colours and text across 100+ artboards I REALLY think it should have this.
My eyes are bleeding!

This seems like a pretty crucial element. I've received feedback that I need to change the text from "Submit" to "Save" for clarity on every page of my project.

As a user using lots of real data in large responsive web designs, changing several instances of one word is a crucial time saver when needed.
