# Hide actions from results

> Control which Workflow actions are visible to end users by hiding preprocessing steps and internal operations from the results view.

When a [Workflow](/workflows/overview) runs, every action's output is shown in the results by default. For Workflows with preprocessing steps, API calls, or other internal operations, you may want to hide these from end users to create a cleaner, more focused results view.

Hidden actions still execute normally -- they just don't appear in the output that users see when viewing run results.

## Hide an action

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Workflow editor">
    Navigate to the Workflow and click **Edit** to access the editor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the action menu">
    Click the **...** button in the top-right corner of the action block you want to hide.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle Include in Workflow output">
    Click **Include in Workflow output** from the dropdown menu. This toggles the action's visibility in the results view.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the eye icon">
    An eye icon appears on the action block, indicating it is now hidden from end-user results.

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

To show the action again, repeat the same steps -- click the **...** menu and toggle **Include in Workflow output** off.

## What stays visible

* **Test Workflow** -- hidden actions are still fully visible when you use the [testing interface](/workflows/running-and-testing#test-a-workflow) in the editor. This lets you debug without affecting what end users see.
* **Run results and Previous Runs** -- hidden actions do not appear in run results or the Previous Runs view.

The **Interface** tab's **Outputs** list is separate: it highlights specific action variables on the **Run** tab after a successful run. Hiding an action from workflow output does not remove its variables from that list if you explicitly added them as outputs; remove them on **Interface** if you no longer want them shown there. See [Customize the Workflow run view](/workflows/interface#outputs).

<Tip>Use this feature for actions like **Scrape Webpage**, **Categorize Text**, **Send API Request**, or any step that produces intermediate data your users do not need to see. It keeps the output focused on the final, meaningful results.</Tip>
