    The forms are a great addition!

     

    But as I leave this comment I am noticing that the ability to attach screenshots is gone.  That will add 1000 words to every one of my posts.  Please bring it back.

    Hello Travis. How do I need find the word like before throughout the whole nework of sheet with CTRL+F since that is replaced with only finding and replacing in the current sheet. 

     

    Found the answer: CTRL+SHIFT+ F

    Nice that you introduced 'find and replace'  with ctrl F, but what if I just want to find something?

    I tried to find an RFC in my projectsheet quickly but it didn't work because I got the 'find and replace' box with ctrl f and that only gives the options 'replace' and 'find next'

    Hi Wil - the new Find and Replace feature can find items in your sheet OR find and replace. To find something in your sheet, press CTRL + F, type in your criteria in the Find what box and press Find Next.

     

    Minh - You are correct, CTRL+SHIFT+F will get you to the Search feature. You can also use the Search box at the top let of the app (next to the Help menu).

    I immediately began using the function after I learned of the update.  Thank you for listening to our concerns.

    Find and replace is totally great, and I have found it tremendously useful being available in the cell linking dialogue. The search for sheet names, their contents, followed up with a find option all within the cell linking dialogue has really improved our ability to utilize the cell linking feature in a much faster, reliable way. Nice work on this one.

    I have discovered that I cannot do a Find/Replace on anything that is within a formula.  When I attempt a find, it just says no results found.
    Is this normal behavior?

    That is correct, Brad. Find and replace only works for visible text. This means text in formulas, filtered rows, or collapsed rows will not be included.

    This "feature" drives me crazy. Why do I need a confirmation email of the update I JUST MADE! Stupid, please remove or give the option to turn off. I think this is more of a bug than a feature.
