Example
This section gives a common example for a placeholder text policy.
Lorem ipsum
This is the simplest of placeholders to set up a policy for. To make this policy, check the RegEx and clear the Case sensitive box and enter the following in the Query field:
Lorem ipsum
Insert [something] here
This policy finds every page or document that contains a phrase that contains the word ''insert'', 1-3 other words, and the word ''here''. Examples of what would be found include:
"Insert heading here"
"Insert summary or text here"
To make this policy, check the RegEx, clear the Case sensitive box, and then enter the following in the Query field:
Insert(\s*\w+\s*){1,3}here
Adjustments:
This example matches between 1 and 3 words between "insert" and "here". Change the numbers in {1,3} to other values as needed.
