Macro Variations
I can’t create Macro Variations, the New button greyed out.
If no parameter has been mapped to any Macro yet, the New button is greyed out. This changes once a macro has been mapped.

By switching between Variations, the Macro knobs change their value which deactivates track automation. You can re-enable them by clicking the Re-enable automation button.

Yes, you can add Racks with Macro Variations to your User Library.
Can I combine Variations from different Racks?
