For example, if you have a series of four linked variables (country, region, server, metric) and you change a root variable value (country), then Grafana must run queries for all the dependent variables before it updates the visualizations in the dashboard.
## Manage variables
The variables page lets you [add](ref:add) variables and manage existing variables. It also allows you to [inspect](ref:inspect) variables and identify whether a variable is being referenced (or used) in other variables or dashboard.
**Move:** You can move a variable up or down the list using drag and drop.
**Clone:** To clone a variable, click the clone icon from the set of icons on the right. This creates a copy of the variable with the name of the original variable prefixed with `copy_of_`.
**Delete:** To delete a variable, click the trash icon from the set of icons on the right.
## Filter variables with regex
Using the Regex Query option, you filter the list of options returned by the variable query or modify the options returned.
