Removing [square brackets] from your documents

The {{unbracket}} power-up removes square brackets from the matched text, but otherwise leave the text unchanged.

Typing {{unbracket}} (and nothing else) in the Replace with: cell will remove any square brackets from the start and end of the matched text in the document.

This is useful when you want to remove square brackets around an optional or TBD provision in the document. In Find & Replace workflows, this can be used in conjunction with O&D's ability to automatically detect placeholders in the documents to do a final sweep and remove all square brackets from the documents before signing. In Merge workflows, this could be used to include optional text for some entities and delete it for other entities.

Note: The special text sequences in this article can be found in the Power Ups menu in your turnsheets. You can use power-ups in your Find & Replace Find column, Merge column headings, and in any Text type columns (they won't work in Rich Text columns).

Example

Document:

jointly [and severally] liable

Instruction:

Find what: [and severally]
Replace with: {{unbracket}}

Note: In a Merge workflow, "Find what:" is your column heading, and "Replace with:" is the row content.

Result:

jointly and severally liable
