A Refresh button has been added to the list that shows all of the variables when you press Ctrl + Spacebar in Designer. If any changes have been made to the configuration variables on the server after opening the Designer, you can click this button to update the list with new or changed variables.
Configuration variables are available in the process flow as global variables. These variables can be defined in a configuration set.
See Defining a configuration variable.
