Find & Replace

Is there a way to find & replace across various entries within a log. Eg. if I change a characters name or there's a common word I've used & wish to replace it with a tag?

If you have a big search & replace operation to do, you could export thelog as a JSON file, modify it in a text editor (for example Atom), and then import it back.

Search & replace would indeed be a nice feature to have in the app as well.

Hey @Morbane, use the Tag changer. It allows you do do search and replace for tags. For non-tag text, you'll need to use @ELF's suggestion above.

Using the Tag Changer
Go into a Campaign Log and look for the two sideways arrows icons beside "Order by date", print icon, etc.

Click on that and read the instructions.

Make a backup of your Campaign Log (export via the download icon that's beside the Change tag icon) first in case you get unexpected results from your first couple of mass changes.
