Download `GlobalsManager-1.0.0.zip` from the [Releases](../../releases) page (or directly from this repo) +2. In DuetWebControl, go to **Settings → General → Plugin Management** +3.

Enable the plugin and reload DWC when prompted + +The plugin appears under **Plugins → Globals Editor** in the main navigation. + +## Usage + +### Viewing variables + +All current `global.*` variables are listed in the table with their name, type, and current value. The count chip in the top-right shows how many variables are loaded. + +Use the **Search variables** box to filter the list by name. + +### Editing a value + +- **Boolean** — select `true` or `false` from the dropdown, then click **Set** +- **Number / String** — type the new value in the text field, then click **Set** +- The **Set** button is only enabled when the value differs from the loaded value, so you can see at a glance which fields have pending changes + +### Editing array elements + +Click the chevron button next to any array variable to expand it. Each element can be edited individually. For nested sub-arrays, enter the value in `{1, 2, 3}` brace notation. + +### Creating a variable + +Use the **Create New Variable** card at the bottom of the page: + +1. Enter a variable name (letters, digits, underscores; must start with a letter or underscore) +2. Choose the type: Number, Boolean, String, or Array +3. Enter the initial value + - Arrays can be entered as comma-separated values: `1, 2, 3` or `{1, 2, 3}` + - Strings do not need surrounding quotes — the plugin adds them automatically +4. Click **Create** + +The plugin sends a `global = ` command to the firmware.
