About variables
To create a template for data-driven graphics, you need to define which objects on the artboard are dynamic (changeable). You use variables to define the attributes of dynamic objects. You can create four types of variables in Illustrator: Graph Data, Linked File, Text String, and Visibility. A variable's type indicates which object attributes are changeable. For example, you can use a Visibility variable to show or hide any object in your template. You can apply variables to the following types of objects: ![]() Two versions of a Web page based on the same template A. Graph Data variable B. Linked File variable C. Text String variable D.
