It would be great to see a list of places throughout a program where your program tokens are being used.
Even if there was some way to run an audit to do the same thing that would work as well.

This would help to know if tokens are no longer being used or to see if there are any other places it is being used that are not initially apparent.

This would help me immensely. Please add me as another vote to consider it!

Possibly. We are working on a set of asset APIs that would let you pull the token values, so that might make such a script much easier to build.

Would it be theoretically possible to do a token "audit."

What if you could manually initiate a time stamped report for an individual program that would cycle through any of that program's approved assets for text matching any of that program's tokens?

For Example:

In Program1 you have...

Asset 1 - Approved
Asset 2 - Approved
Asset 3 - Approved
Asset 4

{{my.Token 1}}
{{my.Token 2}}
{{my.Token 3}}

Search for "{{my.Token 1" (to allow for variance in use of a default)
Search in Asset 1, 2, & 3.
Report which Assets it was found in.

Repeat for each Token.

It could be manual because you would only need it once in a while, like before you were about to delete a token.

I was actually thinking of writing a script to do this manually by downloading the html from each email and landing page, placing them in a folder and scanning the folder.  Although, the process of downloading each asset before scanning them would be time consuming.

Just a thought.  Thank you for the response!

This is unfortunately pretty tricky because the tokens are just in the text in the email, so we don't maintain a list of which ones are used by which asset. That said, this makes sense and is something we can keep in mind in the future.
