In this, the third in a series of videos about Shortcuts App on Mac, I show why you need to know about variables and explain what they are.

I show how to ask for an input from a user and use that in a later action. I first do this using the magic variable method that is available in Shortcuts, but then also explain why it is better to use named explicit variables.... something that is essential later in the series when we are creating more complex shortcuts.
