Hiu @AARON_C You can use the x in the left hand menu to view variables that are with in your canvas app you can also search through these using the search box at the top of the menu.

Alternatively if you have a large piece of code and want to iterate through where that variable is you can also click in the code and press Ctrl F and this will bring up a window to search through that section of your code only showing each instance where the variable appears:

If you use the bottom icon, you can find all instances of the collection (or any other code) usage in the app.

Also in the icon tow above that (x), you will find the Variable list
