Find & Replace

The Sequence Editor includes a Find & Replace tool (Edit → Find and Replace) that allows you to update text across all work-instruction steps in a sequence.

This is useful when part numbers, material codes, or process references need to be changed in multiple places.

Enter the text to search for, specify the replacement value, and review the preview results before applying the update. All matching work-instruction text is updated automatically, helping keep sequences consistent with minimal manual editing.
