#### **Example: replace text and a link in multiple ads**

You can create a copy of a campaign for another region, and then replace the ad text. For example, you can substitute "in London" with "in New York", and change the link "london.domain.com" to "ny.domain.com".

#### **Example: add UTM tags to ad links**

You can select all ads and append UTM tags to all links.

## Options for replacing {#options}

- You can replace text in all objects on the tab or pre-selected objects only.

- You can choose fields for replacement.

- The new text can replace a found text or be added before or after it.
    
    You can edit without searching for a text. To do so, select "All values" instead of "Search". The new fragment can replace the previous field value or be added to the beginning or end of the value.
    
- Search can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive.

- You can use wildcards in your search criteria: **?** — any single character; **\*** — any number of any characters (including no characters).

    For example, _s?ay_ can be matched by _stay_, and _s*ay_ can be matched by _say_, _stay_, and _sunday_.
