# Global environment variables
Langflow 1.0 alpha includes the option to add **Global Environment Variables** for your application.
## Add a global variable to a project
In this example, you'll add the `openai_api_key` credential as a global environment variable to the **Basic Prompting** starter project.
For more information on the starter flow, see [Basic prompting](../starter-projects/basic-prompting.mdx).
1. From the Langflow dashboard, click **New Project**.
2. Select **Basic Prompting**.
The **Basic Prompting** flow is created.
3. To create an environment variable for the **OpenAI** component:
1. In the **OpenAI API Key** field, click the **Globe** button, and then click **Add New Variable**.
2. In the **Variable Name** field, enter `openai_api_key`.
3. In the **Value** field, paste your OpenAI API Key (`sk-...`).
4. For the variable **Type**, select **Credential**.
5. In the **Apply to Fields** field, select **OpenAI API Key** to apply this variable to all fields named **OpenAI API Key**.
6. Click **Save Variable**.
You now have a `openai_api_key` global environment variable for your Langflow project.
