Renumber List Tool

Use this renumber list tool to automatically update numbered lines in your pasted text. It keeps all unnumbered lines and hyperlinks untouched, while making your numbered sections clean and sequential.

🧰 How to Use the Renumber List Tool

To use this renumber list tool, simply paste your text, click the button, and get a clean, updated list with all numbered lines reordered.

🔢 What This Renumber List Tool Does

This tool helps you automatically fix and clean up any numbered list in your text. If you’ve copied and combined content from multiple pages or documents, the numbering can quickly become out of sync. This tool solves that by detecting which lines already start with a number and then replacing those numbers with a clean, ordered sequence — starting at 1.

⚙️ How the Renumber List Tool Works

The tool scans each line and looks for common numbered list formats like 1., 1), 1 -, or (1). When it finds one, it removes the original number and replaces it with a new one that matches the correct position in the sequence. As a result, your numbered list becomes perfectly aligned without affecting the rest of your content.

💡 What It Leaves Untouched

This tool is designed to leave all other lines exactly as they are. If a line isn’t numbered, it won’t be changed — that includes things like paragraph text, external links, headings, or spacing. This is especially useful if you’re combining multiple tool descriptions, instructions, or reference content into a single document.

📋 Example Input & Output

Here’s how it handles input:

1. Tool One
2. Tool Two
Intro text that should stay the same.
4. Tool Three

And the output will be:

1. Tool One
2. Tool Two
Intro text that should stay the same.
3. Tool Three

📎 When to Use This Tool

If you’re merging content from several sources, importing from a spreadsheet, or cleaning up pasted code or outlines, this tool is a great timesaver. It also works well for reformatting step-by-step instructions, tools lists, or FAQs where only certain lines are numbered. Instead of fixing numbers manually, this tool takes care of it instantly.
