Hello, Since the new Studio version, we can access variables through **Data Manager → Variables** only by clicking the corresponding Activity/Sequence. Is it possible to enable variable access from anywhere in the process? It can be painful when refactoring large or older projects. ---

I think this isn’t new, the idea is that variables are only visible in the scope in which they operate. I do agree that this can lead to problems, while refactoring but also while building. ---

Hi @simon.l You can use Global Variables to access the value from any workflow in the project. They are the only way to make variables globally available across the entire process. > **[Studio - Managing Variables](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/latest/user-guide/managing-variables)** > > The UiPath Documentation - the home of all our valuable information.

@ashokkarale @prashant1603765 Thank you but i am talking about accessing varaibles in Datamanager panel to edit them. Right now, we have to click on a corresponding scope activity. ---

Hi @simon.l Which version of studio you are on? In version 2025.10, when you create a variable and click the drop down of scope, it shows you the workflow structure. Right at the top before Main is the global scope, select that to make global variables. ---

@simon.l the Data Manager filters variables by scope, and when Sync with active scope is enabled, it only shows variables for the selected activity. This behavior cannot be disabled to show all scoped variables together for editing. Pls try to change the scope. NOTE-Global Variables (introduced in UiPath 2022.10+) Happy Automation ---

Hi @simon.l You can make global variables. But be mindful of when you would want to scope your variables and when to use global. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/f/5/8/f58bdc6aabfc33d3e99641b94295bc8db6dc2b36.png) Regards Soren ---

@simon.l ok got it As far I know and remember this isn’t implemented anytime. If you are deeper the sequence hierarchy, you can see the outer variables too but you can’t see variables of inner sequences from the outer one. Choosing the innermost sequence can be the only option or can use Global variables. ---
