The user can open the Cross Reference window by clicking [Tools] – [Cross Reference].

(2) Search For
This feature allows the user to search for specific tags, scripts, pages, and permissions groups depending on the tab selected in the [Cross Reference] window. Users can then see any instance in which the desired tag, script, etc. is used within the project file and select them by checking the box on the left side of the search window. Users can also select the checkbox in the header to select all available search queries. Note that if a new tag is created and applied to an object while the [Cross Reference] window is open, the new application will not appear in the search window until the user presses the [Search] button.
(3) Replace With
The [Replace With] feature replaces the selected tags, scripts, pages, or permissions from the search box with the tag, script, page, or permission assigned in the [Replace With] field.
