How to delete text
To delete the matched Find what: text in your documents, simply leave the corresponding Replace with: cell empty.
Alternatively, you can type {{delete}} (and nothing else) in the Replace with: cell, which does the same thing, but makes it clear to others reviewing the Turnsheet that your intent is to delete the text, and you didn't just forget to fill it in.
Note: Leaving the cell empty to delete works in both Text and Rich Text columns. However, typing {{delete}} only works in Text columns. Power-ups like {{delete}} 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:
The Investor [and Co-Investors] shall purchase the series A shares.
Instruction:
Find what: [and Co-Investors]
Replace with:
Find what: series A
Replace with: {{delete}}
Note: In a Merge workflow, "Find what:" is your column heading, and "Replace with:" is the row content.
Result:
The Investor shall purchase the shares.
Smart delete
Deleting all of the text in a paragraph, list item, table cell, footnote, endnote, textbox or another container will remove the entire container and, if a paragraph is removed, adjust all paragraph numbering accordingly.
If you want to delete all of the text without removing the container, put a single space in the Replace with: cell instead of leaving it empty.
Example
Document:
1. Frodo
2. Sam
3. Merry
4. Pippin
Instructions:
Find what: Frodo
Replace with:
Find what: Sam
Replace with: {{delete}}
Note: In a Merge workflow, "Find what:" is your column heading, and "Replace with:" is the row content.
Result:
1. Merry
2. Pippin
