We are rebranding our online store and have years of articles where it is referenced. We have gone through and decided which articles are still relevant and which are not, and there are still a lot where the old name is referenced that we need to change. Is there a quick way to do this? Like find all mentions of x and change to y, community-wide?

Yeah there are ways to find it via the API. 

And, theoretically, you could update it via the API as well. But there’d be a lot of risk in doing that, as you’d need to update the content of the whole post, I believe. In theory, it should be easy: the API will give you the post’s content, you change the word and update it with the slightly modified content via the API. But… you’re dealing with styling, etc via the HTML code in the post’s content… which gets tricky. 

So I’d talk to your CSM and Support about wanting to do this and get their help. 

But I believe it should be possible to do with you and your colleagues needing to manually edit a ton of posts.

Just throwing this out there. ​@DannyPancratz is correct with the CSM play. GS might be able to write a script to help automate some of this in their database. It would most likely be a blanket change across the board.

In terms of old content, not all of that might be relevant anymore. I move all my “old content” into an indexed location only admins can see. This allows users to keep their rank, likes and posting quantities the same without those posts being indexed by search.

If this sounds interesting, you can move posts in mass in -en.insided.com/overview based on content location, group, ect
