> [@apaschea](#): > > I am using glide tables. Any way to do the search/replace? Actually, just thinking outside the box a little bit, you might be able to semi-automate it. There is a technique that some of us have used in the past for automatically deleting old data. You might be able to adapt the same technique for use here, but it would be quite a lot of work to setup, especially if there are several tables involved. And you’d still have to do a bunch of clicking (as an Admin, that has ownership of all rows) to apply it. @Jeff_Hager first described the technique below: > [@Auto Archiving, Sanity Check, Reusable Forms, etc](https://community.glideapps.com/t/auto-archiving-sanity-check-reusable-forms-etc/44544): > > I wanted to share a few techniques that I just implemented in my app. A little background…I’m building a process in my app that will replace the email address with a template value. What it does is replace user@email.com with ARCHIVE-user@email.com. The email column is a row owner column. Once ARCHIVE is appended to the email, it becomes an unowned row and is permanently hidden from the app. I’m doing this in an effort to speed up my app by hiding data that’s more than 2 years old. Unowned… If this is something you’d want to pursue, let me know and I can probably give you some more detailed guidance on how to set it up. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/another-roles-row-owners-public-users-private-users-question/56203)._
