+### Inputs 
+Retreived object will overwrite msg.
+
+### Outputs
+: payload (object) : The stored object with values and metadata.
+
+### Details
+Global variables are meant to be retrieved in other places, this necessarily means managing the same string in multiple places. 
+
+This node allows you to get a global variable anywhere from one source, while supporting rename and deletion.
+
+The source can be found using the search button. The payload property can be specified and can be set to only the value for chaining.
+
+Reactive updates means every time the source is updated those nodes will receive the new value via event.
