The Variables Feature

The Variables Feature

The built-in variables feature allows you to define reusable/replaceable text. You assign a word, phrase, or paragraph to a variable and then insert the variable in multiple locations wherever you want to use that word, phrase, or paragraph. If the text ever needs to be changed, you only have to change the variable definition and your entire documentation project is updated.
