The global edit function has two overall uses:
Replacing a particular string of text with another string. This is similar to Find and replace, but also affects sections that are not editable or visible in the Text of Review pane, such as protected text (e.g. references) or collapsed sections.
Making a change throughout the review, such as deleting all notes.
Note that you cannot combine the two uses; when you choose one of the bottom options, the function to replace text is disabled.
To replace text
Choose Edit > Global Edit.
The Global replace window opens.
Enter the text to find, and the text to replace with.
Click OK.
To remove all marker, accept all changes, delete all notes or find all links
Choose Edit > Global
Replace.
The Global replace window opens.
Select one or more of the following options:
Globally Remove All Marker. This removes all text marker (the yellow highlight), but leaves the marked text.
Globally Accept Tracked Changes. This accepts all tracked changes without reviewing them individually.
Globally Delete Notes. This deletes all notes from the review.
Globally Find and Mark links. This finds all unlinked IDs in the review (including collapsed sections) and makes them in to links.
Click OK.
