You can check the file that stores the variables from Corona Simulator > File > Show Project Sandbox

• In Documents folder, you find kwkVars.json. You can open it with Text Editor

  

the file contains the json table. To initiate the saving, a new value should be set to the variable. For instance, set variable with button/action.

• Edit Variable
