Search lets you quickly find any text across your rundown & global elements. If you need to make the same change in multiple places like updating a speaker name or swapping a venue Find & Replace lets you do it in seconds.
Who can use it?
Everyone can search. Contributors, Show Callers, and Admins can use Find & Replace to update content.
Opening search
Click the magnifying glass icon in the rundown toolbar, or press Cmd+F (Mac) / Ctrl+F (Windows).
Press Escape or click the X button to close.
Searching your rundown
Type your search term in the Search… field. Results appear automatically as you type.
A badge shows your position in the results (e.g., 1 / 5).
Use the ↑ ↓ arrow buttons to move between results, or press Enter (next) / Shift+Enter (previous).
The active result is highlighted in the rundown — the view scrolls to it automatically.
Note: Search covers Title and rich text columns only. Number, time, and duration columns are not searched.

Finding and replacing text
Open search, then click the Replace icon (the two-arrows icon) to expand the replace panel. This button is only visible if you have Contributor access or higher.
Type your replacement text in the Replace with… field.
A list of all matching results appears below, showing the row number, column name, and a text preview.
All results are checked by default. Uncheck any results you want to skip.
Click Replace (N) — where N is the number of checked results — to apply the changes.
What to expect after replacing
A confirmation toast appears: "Replaced N cells"
The search panel closes and resets automatically.
Changes are applied in real time - your team sees them immediately.
Locked rows
If a row is locked, it will appear in the results list with a lock icon instead of a checkbox. Locked rows can be found but cannot be replaced. To replace content in a locked row, an Admin or Show Caller must unlock it first.
