Which workspace do Live Scripts use?

Hi,
I'm just starting to use Live Scripts, but I don't understand how they interact with the base workspace of Matlab.
I can't seem to access variables in the base workspace from a Live Script, and I can't access Live Script variables from the command line. What's the recommended way to get data in and out of a Live Script?
Also, not all output works in Live Scripts. For example, executing fprintf('test') will not yield any output. Is that a bug or should I use other means to print to the Live Script output?
Thanks!
Edit: I just figured out that the workspace access does work, but only when you're not in debug mode. The printing question still stands.

Hi,
I was not able to reproduce the printing issue at my end. This works fine at my end.See attached image where 'test' is shown as an output of the command 'fprintf('test'). Please share the code or elaborate more on the steps to reproduce this issue.
Additionally, follow the link below to know more about creating live scripts:

Hi Matthias,
Live scripts use the MATLAB base workspace, just as traditional scripts do. So using "load," for example, will load data into variables in the base workspace.
If you close and re-open a live script, or restart MATLAB, you will need to re-run the live script to have the variables recreated. Perhaps this is what you were encountering?
I also was unable to reproduce an issue with fprintf().
Thanks, Jared
