I found this website that replaces words and it will make changing the names in script templates a WHOLE lot easier. I really helps someone

Another way to do this is to:
Go on your writers portal and open the episode you want to edit.
Paste the script template
Click on the script. (Or like just click where you can write so you’re search works throughout all the script)
The Control (ctrl) or command on Mac, and then search the word, then click all next to there, and then type the word you want to use.
