Make global changes to the content of a knowledge article by finding and replacing
specific text using the HTML editor.

## Before you begin

Open the knowledge article in which you want to use the HTML editor.

## About this task

You can also use the HTML editor when creating or editing a knowledge article using the Knowledge Management application in the ServiceNow AI Platform interface or in Agent Workspace. To create or edit a knowledge article in the ServiceNow AI Platform interface, see [Create a knowledge article](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Mg8my61xcpFqHkhZX6KBQw "Knowledge contributors can create and edit knowledge articles within a knowledge base to share information across your organization.") or [Edit a knowledge article](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/dgKvMpRF7t3hQeHsPOChFg "Edit knowledge articles within a knowledge base to update information shared across your organization."). To create or edit a knowledge article in Agent Workspace, see Create a knowledge article in Agent Workspace or Edit a knowledge article in Agent Workspace.

## Procedure

1. In the Article body section, place the cursor anywhere.
2. Click the find and replace icon (![Find and replace icon]()) on the HTML toolbar.
3. In the Find and Replace dialog box, in the Find field, enter the search term you want to find.
4. Enter replacement text for the search term in the Replace with field.  
   If you want to delete repeated occurrences of the search text, leave the Replace with field blank.
5. **Optional:** Refine the scope of the search.
   * To limit the search to text that exactly matches the case of the search term, select the Match case check box.
   * To limit the search to text that matches one or more complete words only, select the Whole words check box.
