Working With Variables

Variables act as "placeholders" in your Topics that can be filled with changeable data. Say for example, you need to produce a document for your many different clients. You can save time by producing one document, and then changing the Variables (company name, logo, and so on...) to make personalized versions of the document.

Variables are used in Topics. Their names appear between <angle brackets>. The value of a Variable is only displayed when the final output is published.

You can view a full list of the variables available in the library from the Author-it Button menu, or view variables that are used by objects from ribbon options in the main window or Editor.
