Search & replace, outline minimap

Finding a phrase — and changing it everywhere — shouldn't require skimming 40 pages. The editor's search & replace bar and outline minimap keep long documents navigable.

Search & replace

  • Open — the search icon in the editor (or its shortcut) docks the bar above the canvas.

  • Find — matches highlight live with a total count as you type.

  • Navigate — Enter and the up/down arrows move between matches; the current match gets a stronger highlight.

  • Replace — swap in a new term for the current match, or Replace all for every match in the document.

  • Match case — toggle case sensitivity when identifiers and acronyms matter (API vs api).

  • Close — Esc or the ✕ returns to writing.

Matching runs across the whole document including tables, callouts, toggles, and code blocks. Replacements preserve the surrounding formatting — only the matched text changes.

Outline minimap

The minimap is a vertical strip beside long documents:

  • One dash per heading; dash length and indent communicate heading level (H2 vs H4 at a glance).

  • The active section highlights as you scroll, so you always know where you are.

  • Clicking a dash jumps instantly to that heading.

  • It appears automatically for long documents and stays out of the way for short ones.

Together

Use the minimap to get oriented, search to make surgical edits, and Replace all for renames ("Q3" → "Q4", product name updates) without breaking formatting or embedded blocks.
