Find and replace variables, sources, and connections in a scenario

NOTE
This functionality is available in the new scenario editor experience only. For more information, see New and classic experiences in the article Scenario editor.

Find and replace lets you make the same change across many modules at once. You can:

  • Replace a mapped variable across the whole scenario or in one module.
  • Remap references from one source module to another.
  • Copy a connection to one or all compatible modules from the same app.

Before it makes a change, Find and replace shows a preview of the modules that will be affected.

In the classic experience, you can use the Swap variable, Remap source, and Swap connection tools in the DevTool to do these tasks. For more information, see Debug a scenario.
