To view, edit, or remove an object's variable assignments:
- In Author, select the object you want to assign a variable to.
- Go to Author > Variables > List Assignments.
The Variable Assignments window is opened; any variables that have been assigned to this object are displayed under Variable Assignments in this Object.
Tip! From this window, you can right-click a variable in the Library list (on the left) and view its assignments in other objects.
- Click a variable to edit its assignment, or use the arrows to add and remove variables.
