What you are seeing

Opening a Variable macro's settings, or Variables in the byline, shows Variables are available on the Advanced edition: Upgrade to Advanced to choose a variable. Variables already on your pages keep showing their values. The Capable navigation lists Variables under Advanced in the More menu.

#Why it happens

Your site is on the Standard edition of the Capable Suite. Creating and choosing variables needs the Advanced edition. A site that installed Capable before editions existed counts as Standard until it moves to an edition.

#What to do

Move the site to the Advanced edition. Nothing on your pages is lost in the meantime: existing variables keep showing their values on pages, in exports and on published sites.

Found it? Good.
