→Differences between an action block and a macro?
Working variables are used to make all kinds of calculations/comparisons inside the action block, like any variable according to its type. The only difference with Input and Output ones is that they <b>do not appear</b> in the variables list when configuring the call, as they are not useful to the calling macro.
