Jump directly to step and variable definitions and inspect every cross-file reference from the Sequence Editor.
Local vs. Cross-Sequence References: Local step state references within the same sequence (
X1orStepName.x) work in Free mode. Cross-sequence step synchronization (Seq.X1/Seq.StepName.x, checked by diagnosticS084) and multi-sequence.machineorchestration require Pro or the 14-day Pro trial (automationview.pro.startTrial).
