I am a newbie with Powershell Studio 2017 and am trying to figure out a few of the features.
1. I am trying to step through my Powershell script, but all of the options (step through, step over, etc.) are greyed out. Is there something I have to enable or do first to have this function?
2. How do I get my variables in my script to show up in the Variables box? I would love to see them as they change through my script.
Thanks for the help!

Re: Stepping Through Script and Variables
In order to use the options (step through, step over, etc.) you'll need to set a break point in your code first near where you want to start stepping through. You can set a break point a couple different ways you can either left click on the grey portion of the script window and that will create a break point, or you can right click on the line of code that you want to pause at and in the options menu that is displayed you'll be able to toggle a break point. Once you have at least one break point enable you'll want to run the script by clicking the green debug arrow rather than the run arrow.
Using the debug arrow to run your script will also display the current values store in your variables if you are stepping through the program or display the values that your script variables had when the script has ended.
