Do one of the following:
Click the Trash button   in the Variables palette, or choose Delete Variable from the 
Variables palette menu. 
To delete the variable without confirmation, drag it to the Trash button.
Editing dynamic objects
You change the data associated with a variable by editing the object to which it is bound. 
For example, if you’re working with a Visibility variable, you change the object’s state of 
visibility in the Layers palette. Editing dynamic objects lets you create multiple data sets 
for use in the template. (See 
.)
To edit a dynamic object:
Select a dynamic object on the artboard. Do one of the following to automatically 
select a dynamic object:
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) a variable in the Variables palette.
Select a variable in the Variables palette, and choose Select Bound Object from the 
Variables palette menu.
Edit the data associated with the object as follows:
For text, edit the text string on the artboard. (See 
For linked files, replace the image using the Links palette or the File > Place command. 
(See 
.)
For graphs, edit the data in the Graph Data palette. (See 
.)
For all objects with dynamic visibility, change the state of visibility for the object in the 
Layers palette. (See 
.)
To select all dynamic objects:
Choose Select All Bound Objects from the Variables palette menu.
Identifying dynamic objects using XML IDs
The Variables palette displays the names of dynamic objects as they appear in the Layers 
palette. If you save the template in SVG format for use with other Adobe products, these 
object names must conform to XML naming conventions. For example, XML names must 
begin with a letter, underscore, or colon, and cannot contain spaces.
Illustrator automatically assigns a valid XML ID to every dynamic object you create. The 
Names preference lets you view, edit, and export object names using XML IDs.
To identify dynamic objects using XML IDs:
Choose Edit > Preferences > Units & Undo (Windows and Mac OS 9) or Illustrator > 
Preferences > Units & Undo (Mac OS X).
Select the XML ID option.
