<sidebar>Sidebar: What Is a Macro?</sidebar>
Macros you create can be exported to a file for later use by importing the macro in another project.
Select the Export option from the Macro menu (Macro > Export...).
Flowcode will then ask you to select the macro you wish to export and then ask you for a filename to save the file.
Flowcode macros are exported with the file extension .FCM
If the 'Read Only' option is checked then the exported macro will be locked making the macro unable to be edited when importing back into other Flowcode programs.
If the 'Private' option is checked then the variables used in the macro will be hidden from the rest of the flowchart and will only be usable by that specific macro, this acts similarly to 'local' variables, although they can only be used by the macro itself and cannot be used anywhere else.
