find/replace in footnotes and comments

[olaf]

is it possible to run find/replace in footnotes and comments?

Hi Olaf,

Yes, in Scrivener for Mac, the Edit > Find > Find… (or Cmd-F) method of finding and replacing text works for inspector comments and inspector footnotes as well as text, in your current document or scrivenings session. Document Find and Replace is described in section 21.1.1 of the user manual, which contains the following note specifically about inspector comments/footnotes:

Find (and replace) will function on any comments or footnotes in the Inspector pane (section 18.2). Replace will always work in the background, but for Find to highlight matches, the Inspector must already be open.

All the best,
Astrid
