# Folder Variables
Folder variables are variables that are scoped to a specific folder. They are useful for storing variables that are used across multiple requests in a folder.
## Creating a Folder Variable
* Go to Folder Settings (can be accessed from dropdown menu of the folder in the sidebar)
* Go to Vars Tab
* Add your variable name, value, and an optional description for what the variable represents in the Pre Request Vars section
* Save your changes
## Using a Folder Variable
You can use the `{{varName}}` syntax to use a folder variable in a request.
#### Access Folder Variable inside scripts
You can also use the `bru.getFolderVar()` function to get the value of a folder variable and use it inside your scripts.
```javascript theme={null}
let bearerToken = bru.getFolderVar("bearerToken");
```
