I was hoping to use the Search and Replace function to locate and replace the vast majority of instances of a term, but not replace all of them. In several other software programs (e.g. Word), if you ask it to show you the results instead of “replace all”, you have the option of simply approving the replacement one instance at a time. When I tried the same thing with Pressbooks, the best you get is a link to the chapter, where you still have to search for the term manually, and then replace each instance manually. Is this on a list of things you can improve? If not, can you add it? It would save me a significant amount of time and work if I could just say “yes” or “no” to replacing something the system has already found and is prepared to replace, and it would be a vast improvement to be able to approve the replacements one item at a time, rather than have an “All or Nothing” option.
