Apply SmartReplace

The Apply SmartReplace workflow action will use pattern-matching rules (regular expressions) to automatically identify, format, and transform text within your document. By defeault, every modification is captured as a tracked change in the output CXML (.cxml) and in the Word document when you run SmartReplace in the Orion ribbon.
