| - | Variables with names that start with “Instance ” (“ Instance ” with a space, then the rest of the variable name, eg “ Instance Count”) are considered local (v8+) to a specific execution sequence. Each time the macro is run, they will start empty but their value can be seen and changed by other macros within the same execution sequence (for example, if you execute a macro using the Execute Macro action, that macro can see and change the instance variable). Since two instances of a macro can be running at the same time, this is useful to ensure they each have their own version of the variable. | + | Variables with names that start with “Instance ” (“Instance ” with a space, then the rest of the variable name, eg “Instance Count”) are considered local (v8+) to a specific execution sequence.
