-Variables with names that start with "​Instance"​ (case insensitive,​ trailing space not necessary) are considered private 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 [[action:​Execute_a_Macro|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"​ (case insensitive,​ trailing space not necessary) are considered private 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 [[action:​Execute_a_Macro|Execute Macro]] action, that macro can see and change the instance variable ​(unless you execute it asynchronously which would create a new instance)).  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.
