Hey guys,

What does this color style mean? The one that has a square color indicator rather than a circle. And how in the world did I do that?


How can I remove it? Why can’t I see in the color styles library?


Turns out it’s some sort of variable. God knows where I can find these variables or how I can edit them. Come on man, what the friggin hell?


Hey Cristian, thank you for reaching out! Yes it looks like you’ve created a variable.

To delete a variable, right click the variable and select Delete variable. I’ve demonstrated this in my screen recording below.

Hi @Gayani_S

Thanks for the reply, I did play around with variables. At first glance, my thoughts are “why in the world complicate things so much?” 😃 I’ll play some more with them, maybe it’s just a first reaction 🙂


It always good to play around with the tool! You can check our Help Center article if you want to learn more about variables.
