Is there a way that I can search for a certain word in past versions?

Question

Sometimes when my team is working on edits, it would be helpful to see how we've edited out a borrowed word in the past, for example 'slama'. So I'm looking for a way that I could search past versions for where we used to have 'slama' but now are no longer using it. So that I can see what the new version is and we can consider it for other verses where we still have 'slama'. Specifically for words that are not key terms. that Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

Yes, you can open the Compare Versions tool and set the right hand pane to the version you want to search. Then in the menu you can choose to find in that version.

Here is a quick video showing the process:

Answer 2

If you do Compare versions, then select the version you want to search in in the right-hand panel, and click for the menu in the top left hamburger, you will see an option to search in either of the two open panels.
