Variables (also known as "mapping fields" or "merge tags") are placeholders that will auto populate depending on to whom or what you assign things to.

For example, if you have the variable {{Client.Name}} added to a proposal and then you assign the proposal to a client, the variable placeholder {{Client.Name}} will automatically change to the name of the client.

Variables can be added to "Content Blocks". To create a new content block simply click on the “+” button to open the building blocks menu and choose "Content".
