How can I use find / replace to replace many hyperlinks on a page from http:// to https:// ?

The editor show example .... page.com ... as a link,

You can find and replace URLs in Tools -> Global Replace.

I'll change my Subject to ...

Find and Replace https with http to approx 25 URL's in the html.

Global F and R for Text doesn't change the https to http

How can I do a find and replace in the html ?

In other words, the page has 25 secured hyperlinks to 25 websites.
But the sites are Not secure yet. Hence, these URL links fail.
I wish to F and R the 25 https .... with .... http in the page's html.

when I secure all 25 of the domains / sites. then I wish to F and R all the http ... with https.

This is not possible, because the HTML code does not exist until you publish the page.

However , you can modify external links via 'Verify Links'.

Because the HTML code is generated only after publishing via WYSIWYG, it is not possible to replace all URLs with http to https!!!!!
The answer is to use other software to open the html EVERY update...oh my what a task on every page ; (
Surely there is an easier way in WYSIWYG please????
Thank you

This is only true for exterior links. Interior links do not need changed. Why not from the start make all you exterior links begin with https://? Once you set it this way in the project file there is no need to have to open the file after it is published and change anything.

I think you have misunderstood my reply. I meant that custom HTML code cannot be updated via Global Replace.
If you inserted URLs by adding custom code, then you can update these URLs the same way as how you added them initially.

If you have added the URLs via menu, links or other built-in navigation then you can use Global Replace or Verify Links.
And of course you can change the URL for each link individually in the properties of the link.
Internal links will be updated automatically, because they are relative.
