# Plugin Variables, Code Editor Improvements, Community Call

We’re entering the final stretch of the year, which means that when we’re not busy planning a huge 2023, we’re shipping out all the polish improvements we can find.

[Let us know on Discord](https://discord.com/invite/xAm2w6g) if there’s a visual element in Railway that bothers you enough that you think we should fix it. We’ll do our best!

## Plugin Variables Now Visible

Did you know that Railway exposes plugin variables at the service level? 

If you didn’t, it’s because we never gave you a visual cue for that. 🤦‍♂️

Until now! Within the Variables tab of a service, Railway now displays the variables exposed to the service by connected plugins.

Jump into your service-level settings to get started.

## Improvements to Code Editor

We’re not done making improvements to how you manage variables on Railway! 

To make it easier to manage a long list of vars, we cleaned up the raw variable editor. 

You should notice a better experience with details like text wrapping and responsiveness. We also fixed a number of bugs that made using the code editor less than optimal.

## Community Call
