Hi ​@Sreeja1234 

This is a really useful function. You can assign variables (and modes) to your element / frame and use them to control / toggle features. I use it to control the display size and colour mode of my designs, so I only design things once, not at three different sizes, or colour modes.I rely on variables to control the size (and layout), and colour of all components used in that frame.

 

 

There are some really useful tutorials on variables out there to try.

Hope that helps.
