Yes, Webflow provides a search and replace text feature that allows users to easily find and replace specific text throughout their website. This feature can be particularly useful when you need to update or modify multiple instances of a specific word or phrase. To use the search and replace text feature in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Open your project in Webflow and navigate to the Designer view.
  2. On the left-hand side of the Designer, click on the Pages tab to display a list of all your website pages.
  3. Select the page on which you want to perform the search and replace action.
  4. With the page selected, navigate to the top menu and click on the Edit button. This will allow you to access the page's elements.
  5. Once you are in the editing mode, click on the gear icon at the top-right corner of the Designer to open the Settings panel for the selected page.
  6. In the Settings panel, scroll down until you find the "Replace" section.
  7. In the "Find" field, enter the text you want to search for.
  8. In the "Replace with" field, enter the text you want to replace the found text with.
  9. You can choose to make the search and replace action case sensitive by toggling the "Case sensitive" option on or off.
  10. After entering the required information, click on the "Replace" button.
  11. Webflow will then scan the page and replace all instances of the specified text with the new text you provided.

It's important to note that the search and replace text feature in Webflow only affects the selected page, not the entire website. If you want to perform the search and replace action site-wide, you'll need to apply the changes to each page individually.

Overall, the search and replace text feature in Webflow can save you a significant amount of time and effort when making bulk updates to your website content.
