A progress report will be given on recent studies of circumstellar variability of Be stars, their implications on the formation process, the dynamics, the structure and the morphology of the envelope. The following points are discussed: recurrence of outbursts, simultaneous infall and outflow events, variability in hot regions versus variability in the cool envelope, the establishment and vanishing of Be and Be-shell phases, periodic medium-term and quasi-periodic long-term phenomena, and constraints on models.
