Layers
In Storyline there are two kinds of variables:
- Built-In variables: Those are created automatically and help doing various things (tracking time, tracking completion, and so on)
- Project variables: Those are created manually.
You can take a look at both in the variables window, by clicking on "Project" or "Built-In" at the top of the window.
I only added 4 true/false variables (birds, cats, dogs, fish).
It is worth taking a look at the documentation Articulate offers.
If you understand how states, triggers, layers and variables work, you can do almost everything with Storyline.

You are right Stefan. Variables can be a challenge for me. Going through various youtube videos to learn it. It seems so near yet so far with storyline.

Hey Sanchit! Variables can definitely feel a bit challenging. I'm still learning myself. In addition to the article Stefan shared, I wanted to share some tutorial resources since it sounds like you're looking at videos to see how they work. If you have an Articulate 360 subscription, you can access Articulate 360 Training. There are two Storyline 360 webinars coming up on the topic, in case you're interested.
If you don't have an Articulate 360 subscription, you can also look at our YouTube channel. That link should take you to the videos we have on variables. Hope that helps!

Thank you Sarah. On another note, do you suggest that one should know about photoshop, it does help.

Hi Stefan,
I tried working with variables BUT getting stuck.
Also, why is my user count coming as ZERO, while in your file it is 2.
