Limitations

This page explains the current limitations of Qron Search and Replace for Confluence.

These limitations are based on how Confluence renders and manages page content, and they help ensure safe and predictable behavior during search and replace operations.

Complex Matches Across Markup

The app cannot find or replace text that is split by markup or formatting.

For example, the following content cannot be matched by searching for book:

CODE

<strong>boo</strong>k

This is because the visible text is divided into multiple structured elements, even though it appears as a single word on the page.

Page Titles Are Not Replaced

The app does not support searching or replacing page titles.

Search and replace operations apply only to the content within the page body.
To change a page title, please edit it directly in Confluence.

Content Inside Macros

The app cannot search or replace strings that are managed internally by macros.

Some macros generate or store their content independently from the page body, and modifying such content programmatically may cause unexpected results. For this reason, search and replace is limited to standard page content and supported link structures.

Summary

Qron Search and Replace for Confluence focuses on safe, predictable replacements in visible page content.
If a string cannot be found or replaced, it is often because the content is:

Split by formatting or markup
Part of a page title
Managed internally by a macro
