-## How they work?
-Environment variables can be created and managed through the modern solution interface or by [using code](https://docs.microsoft.com/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/work-with-data-cds). A separate JSON file is created within your solution package for the values, which can also be managed in source control and modified in a build pipeline. Export to and import from Excel is supported. After creating environment variables, you can use them as inputs within plug-ins, flows, and other components.

-## Default value
-This field is part of the environment variable definition entity and is not required. Set a default value for the production environments or when the values don't need to be changed for different environments.
+### Create an environment variable in Power Apps
+1. Sign in to Power Apps, and then on the left panes select **Solutions**. 
+2. On the command bar, select **New** and then select **Environment variable**. 
+3. On the left pane, complete the following fields, and then select **Save**:  
+   - **Display name**. Enter a name for the environment variable. 
+   - **Name**. The unique name is automatically generated from the **Display name**, but you can change it. 
+   - **Data Type**. Select from **Decimal number**, **Text**, **JSON**, or a **Two option** field. 
+   - **Default Value**. This field is part of the environment variable definition entity and is not required. Set a default value for the production environments or when the values don't need to be changed for different environments. 
+   - **Current Value**. Also known as the override value. This field is optional and is a part of the environment variable value entity. Set the value when you'd like to override the default value in your current environment. Remove the value from your solution if you don't want to use it in the next environment. The values are also separated into a separate JSON file within the solution.zip file that is exported. 
 
-## Value
-Also known as the current value or the override value, this field is optional and is a part of the environment variable value entity. Set the value when you'd like to override the default value in your current environment. Remove the value from your solution if you don't want to use it in the next environment. The values are also separated into a separate JSON file within the solution.zip file that is exported. 
+      Separation of default value and current value allows you to service the definition and the default value separately from the current value. It also allows us to extend the functionality in the future to support multiple values scoped to a specific run time context.
 
->[!NOTE]
-> A value can't exist without a definition. The interface only allows creation of one value per definition.

 ## Notifications
 A notification is displayed when the environment variables do not have any values. This is a reminder to set the values so that components dependent on variables do not fail. It also allows partners to ship variables without values and the customer is prompted to input the values.

 ## Security
-Both the environmentvariabledefinition and environmentvariablevalue entities are [user or team owned](https://docs.microsoft.com/powerapps/maker/common-data-service/types-of-entities). When creating an application that uses Environment variables, be sure to assign users the appropriate level of permission. More information: [Security in Common Data Service](https://docs.microsoft.com/power-platform/admin/wp-security).

 ## Current limitations
 - Caching. Plugins will need to run a query to fetch the values. 
-- Canvas apps and flows can consume Environment variables just like entity record data. In the future we plan to build additional actions into canvas app and flow designers. This will simplify authoring and provide better visibility into environment variables being used by a specific app or flow.
-- Azure Key Vault integration for secret management. Currently Environment variables should not be used to store secure data such as passwords and keys.

 - Data types are validated in the modern solution interface only, but not currently on the server during the preview. 
 - Dependencies are not enforced for certain component types.
 - If using Excel to import environment variables, be sure to pre-pend the publisher prefix to the SchemaName.
