Find and replace in a space

[Tamar Kaplan]

Hi,

I would like to ask your help with the following:

We have a space which contains ~ 1400 pages that mentions FHIR.

We need to find and replace those "FHIR" strings to "FHIR®".

How do we do that in an efficient way? We know that there is an option to find and replace a word in a page, but what's the solution for a whole space?

Thanks,

Tamar

Hi @Tamar Kaplan 

Welcome to the community!

At the moment there is no way to do a global search and replace in Confluence Cloud. 

There was a ticket with Atlassian to implement this, but they said that it's not on their roadmap at the moment : https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-2522

If you have ScriptRunner for Confluence Cloud you can find and replace text across your entire space with one click.

There's a script you can copy and paste into the Script Console and run. It is available here: https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/find-and-replace-text-across-space
 
Hope it will help you!

Regards,
Sushant Verma

Hello Tamar and good morning!

Another possibility to achieve this is by using third-party macros.

I've used this function within Copy Page Tree before, but there are multiple in the Atlassian Marketplace; perhaps one could also be helpful?

• Copy Page Tree
• Easy Find and Replace
• Qron Search and Replace

All the best!

I will have a look, thank you.

Space Content Manager does bulk find and replace.

Feels like this should be a standard feature. It's not even available for Premium plan :(
