Locating items in large files can be a challenge. Find and replace lets you quickly find, select, and make changes in bulk.

Find items

Use the Find option to quickly search your entire file for text, shapes, frames, and more.

    1. Click in the left sidebar or use the following keyboard shortcut to open the search bar:
      • Mac: Command + f
      • Windows: Ctrl + f
    2. Enter the text or layer name you want to find. The search results automatically populate as you type.
      • You can display results by your current page or see results for all pages.
      • Click to add search filters for layer type—such as text, frame, shape, etc.
      • Use and to move through your results.
      • In the Settings menu, use Other to search for everything else, such as widget or slice names. 
    3. Click to select a layer. Edit, replace, or delete selected layers as needed.
    4. To return to the Layers panel, click or press Esc.

Replace text

Use the Replace option to quickly replace text layers.

  1. Click and select Replace.
  2. Search for the text you want to replace.

    Note: Only text layers display as options to be replaced. If you search for an item that cannot be replaced (such as a widget or frame name), no results will display.

  3. From the search results, select the layer you want to replace.
    • To select several layers, hold Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and click each layer.
    • To select all layers within a range, hold Shift and click layers at the beginning and end of the range.
  4. Enter the replacement text in the Replace with field.
  5. Click Replace to replace the selected layers, or click Replace all to replace all layers on the page.
  6. To return to the Layers panel, click or press Esc.
