Global Variables

The variables.yaml file in the root of your guide acts like an invisible page. Instead of holding content, it holds variables you define once and reuse across the rest of your guide.

You can also use it to configure guide-wide settings. A common one is the tree expand: option, which controls how far resource trees are expanded by default. For example, expand: yes expands every level, while expand: 3 expands all resources down to the third level.
