+### Using process.env in global environments
+
+You can reference process environment variables inside global environment variable values using the `{{process.env.VAR_NAME}}` syntax. Bruno resolves these references from the workspace-level `.env` file, so your secrets remain out of version control while still being usable in global environments.
+
+For example, you can set a global environment variable value to:
+
+```text
+{{process.env.API_KEY}}
+```
+
+When the global environment is active, Bruno will resolve the value from the workspace `.env` file. See [Process Environment Variables](/variables/process-env) and [DotEnv File](/secrets-management/dotenv-file) for more details on managing `.env` files.

+### Using process.env in global environments

+Process environment variables can also be referenced inside [global environment variable](/variables/global-environment-variables) values. Bruno resolves `{{process.env.VAR_NAME}}` references from the workspace-level `.env` file, allowing you to use secrets in global environments without exposing them in version control.
