This lets you select all the contents of the current document. Ctrl+A is the short cut key for this

 

Find and Replace

This is a very useful feature if you have to change a piece of text to something else in a lot of places. Lets say you were storing all your images in the default folder. Later you realize a new folder "images" would be a better place for it. Rather than finding every single image in the document, you can simply use this feature. The example below shows replacing the word "form" with "forms"

 

Apply Theme and Layout

If you decide it is time for your boring website to have some lively feel, this option is the key. It will update all the pages in your website to a new theme or layout with one click. Nice! Just remember to test it on one page before you get carried away with this powerful feature. Remember if you mess up, you can always exit without saving the new theme/layout.
