Difference between variable and property (public, private)

What is the difference between a Workspace variable and a property (app designer) ?

Why can it lead to problems if you set a variable global or a property puplic?

If i would set a variable global i would´nt have to pass it between functions all the time. Or am i missing something here?

thanks in advance
