# Search, Find & Replace in a workflow

Flow-builders can search for all occurrences of a specific word within a workflow and can replace the word with another.

For the workflow selected and visible in the canvas:&#x20;

* Users have the option to **Find** only or to **Find & Replace.** *(default: Find)*
* Users can search on **Step Number** only, on **Variable** only, or on **All**. *(default: All)*
* Users can make the search **case sensitive**.  *(default: not case sensitive)*
* Users can select to search **whole word** matches only. *(default: search whole words and parts thereof)*

**For Find only**: Results are shown in the panel on the left. Selecting a result takes you to that step in the flow.

**For Find & Replace**: Under the search term, enter the term you want to replace it with. Select the specific step, and click "Replace".&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
You cannot "Replace All", and have to do it for each step individually. This is to prevent accidentally breaking workflows by replacing all occurrences.
{% endhint %}
