Symbols of variables and instances are selected using the variable list, that can be used as the variable editor. Selecting variables is available from all editors:

• In FBD diagrams, double-click on a variable box, a FB instance name, a contact or a coil to select the associated variable.
• In LD diagrams, double-click on a contact, a coil or a block input or output to select the variable. Double-click on the top of a FB rectangle to select an instance.
• In ST/IL texts, run the Insert / Set Variable in the Edit menu to select a variable and insert its name in the text.

When the variable editor is visible in the editor window, you can simply drag a variable from the list to the program to insert it.

When inserting a variable name manually, the Workbench Studio automatically checks if it exists and if not, proposes you to declare it right now.

Hint: Via the Track changes functionality you can make modifications in the program visible. You can activate/deactivate the functionalty via the menu bar entry Tools, Options..., Editing and Track changes. The modified elements or entries will be marked on their left side with the defined color.
