# Variables

Variables in the Devolutions ecosystem are placeholders that are resolved at runtime so you can reuse values without hardcoding them. Common examples include referencing a credential entry, a user name, or an environment specific path inside a command line or script.

Devolutions Server stores the underlying data, while clients such as Remote Desktop Manager expand the variables when launching a session or executing a tool. Using variables avoids copying secrets into many places, simplifies password rotation, and lets the same entry work across multiple environments.
