Does anyone know of Confluence plugin that has the search and replace in the source?

Hi,

We found out that the Source Editor Pro will retire in 2 weeks.

I was wondering if other alternative free plugins have the search and replace feature for the Confluence source code that you can recommend.

We are going to miss the Srouce Editor Pro. It is such a simple useful working tool.

Thank you.

Kent

We have a bulk find and replace but it doesn't deal with source code (see Space Content Manager).

Could you tell me a bit more about the use case or reach out to our support. Something would consider building.

Thank you Stavros for your reponse.

Our use case is to globally search a text and replace all the occurrences on a page with a specific JIRA issue number.

We use a template to create a new release page. Since each release page has different content based on the FixVersion, we use a text/label as a placeholder in the template. Once a page has been created, we replace that text/label with the actual FixVersion.

I hope that helps.


Thanks,

Kent

@Kent Chiu thank you for the greater details. I'll discuss it with the team, needless to say this doesn't help you in the short term.

Thank you, Stavro! Please keep me posted when the search and replace functionality becomes available.

Hi @Kent Chiu 

In the email I got from Seibert, they recommend using Storage Format Editor by K15t (their Labs). It's also free.

I have no personal experience so you'll have to give it try / explore it yourself, but it says:

"Feature highlights:

  • Edit Storage format and ADF
  • Code highlighting
  • Search and replace
  • Secure - Built on the Forge platform, so no data ever leaves Confluence"
