Find/Replace options should not reset article selection
Addison Kliewer
When switching/clicking between the 'Find' and 'Replace' views in Doc360, please stop the article toggle selection (the list of articles) from resetting.
The Problem: Currently, if I select several articles in the list and then click over to the 'Replace' view and back to 'Find' (or vice versa), my entire selection is lost, and the list scrolls back to the top. This makes it impossible to perform bulk selection across many articles, as I have to scroll and re-select everything from scratch after every switch.
Could we make sure that switching between the 'Find' and 'Replace' options doesn't reset my list of selected articles?
Right now, if I'm trying to select articles to replace content in, and I flip back and forth between the two views, the whole list of articles refreshes. It kicks me out of my selection, makes me lose my place, and forces me to scroll and re-select everything again. It's a huge pain when I'm trying to choose a lot of articles at once

Add Refresh Button to Find and Replace
Addison Kliewer
Hey, I was working in Doc360 and noticed that when I'm using the Find and Replace feature, it can be really annoying to refresh the search results. Right now, if something changes in the document and I want to see if my Find and Replace results are still accurate, I have to either mess with the search criteria or refresh the whole browser page, which makes me lose my current search.
Could we possibly get a simple "Refresh" button added right there in the Find and Replace window? That way, I can just click refresh and update my search results without having to lose my current settings or reload everything. It would be a huge quality-of-life improvement!

Do not clear Replace list after selecting the replace button
Addison Kliewer
Here's another quick idea for improving our workflow in Doc360's Find and Replace feature. Right now, if I use the tool, select a few occurrences to replace, and then click the Replace button, the whole results list clears out, even if I still have a bunch of unselected results left on the page that I intended to review next. This means I have to completely re-run my original search criteria just to get those remaining items back. It's frustrating and slows me down!
Can we change the behavior so that when I click Replace, the tool only removes the specific occurrences that were just replaced, leaving the rest of the unselected search results visible? This would let us continue working through the list without constantly having to re-submit our filters.

Hi Addison
Thanks for highlighting this. Your request to retain remaining search results after selective replacements makes sense and would streamline iterative editing.
We’ll review the current Find and Replace interaction model to understand the effort required to preserve the result set dynamically instead of reloading from scratch. Once the feasibility and UX implications are assessed, we’ll share an update on next steps.
Appreciate you surfacing a productivity-focused enhancement like this.
