Can you please work on adding to the Global Edit feature so that you can global edit LIVE text so that you don't need to change the text to an outline object.

This feature would be a game changer in the sense that I could work faster! I wouldn't need to select each text box on every artboard to edit.

An example where I would use this gobal live text edit is for my tech pack pages. A style number is written on every artboard. I would then be able to make updates to the text box on just one page opposed to multiple pages.

Thank you!

If the text is not exactly the same everywhere, then Global edit will not help either.

You could check out MultiEdit text: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Text.md#multiedittext

Make this a symbol before you put it on every page.

Hi Monika,

Majority of the time I need to go back into my tech packs after they are used to make changes and adjustments so this is where I need to edit on every page unfortunately.
Thank you for trying to provide a solution though!
