- [Seeing the characters you cannot see](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/articles/string-manager-hidden-characters)
  Reveal spaces, non-breaking spaces, tabs and both kinds of line break, when reading a string and when editing one.
- [Platform keys: one string, the name each build expects](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/articles/string-manager-platform-keys)
  Add an iOS key, an Android key or a gettext msgid alongside the String Manager key, and choose which one a download uses.
- [Download the file you uploaded, with the values changed](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/articles/string-manager-template-export)
  Template export rewrites your original file in place instead of generating a new one, so comments, ordering and everything else survive.
- [Find: duplicates, old terms, blocked words and tone](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/articles/string-manager-find-duplicates)
  Four searches for content that no longer matches your standards.
- [Placeholders, and why they are stored separately](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/articles/string-manager-placeholders)
  Every format spells a dynamic value differently. String Manager stores one canonical form and puts each format's own spelling back on download.
- [Getting around a string set](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/articles/string-manager-navigation)
  Back to the set from any string, and full timestamps on the set list.
- [Run analysis and AI Analysis](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/articles/string-manager-analysis)
  What each check looks at, what silence means, and the tone check that is advisory on purpose.
