My phone number changed from [210 1234567] to [210 7654321]. Find every published page and post that still has the old number, also written with spaces or dashes. Show me the list with the sentence where it appears. Then replace it in each one, and tell me where it appears more than once or on a page built with a page builder, so I can deal with those.

If SAR is already in your AI app, this is enough:
Replace [old phone number] with [new phone number] in every page and post that has it.
What happens
- The AI app searches your pages and posts for the old number and reads each one it finds.
- It shows you the list, with the sentence around each mention.
- Each replacement changes the passage only where it appears exactly once; otherwise nothing changes and you are told how many times it appears.
- Pages built with a page builder keep their text elsewhere, so it names them for you.
- A change to a live page waits for your approval in SAR, and can be undone for 30 days.
