What’s new: Inspect view and variable autocomplete (1.1.0)
What's new in Automator v1.1.0

Debug your automations to make sure that your actions are finding the right layers, understand what properties a layer or style has, and that your variables have the right values.
Click on the < > icon next to the play button to show the Inspect view.
Nodes
View and inspect any layers or styles that your actions created after running your automation under Nodes.
Variables
View all variables that your automation created and inspect their values under Variables.
Console
Use the Console tab to view any output from the new “Log to console” action or write any valid JavaScript to interface directly with the Figma Plugin API
Variable autocomplete
While editing an actions properties, any input field will autocomplete common built-in variable properties as you type.
