# Show / Hide Column

To temporarily hide a column without deleting it from the sheet, follow these steps:

1. Click the header menu of the column you want to hide and select "Hide".
2. The column is hidden from within the sheet.

To display the hidden columns again, or switch the visible / hidden state of multiple columns, follow the procedure below:

1. Click the header menu at the far right of the header of the sheet, and select "Column List Display Setting".
2. A dialog appears and the list of columns that are included in the sheet will be displayed. Columns that are currently hidden will be listed in gray text.
3. Open the menu displayed on the right side of the column whose display status you want to change, and select "Show" or "Hide".
4. Click "Apply" to change the display state of the column.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mashmatrix.com/mashmatrix-sheet/functions_about_displaying_data/show_hide_column.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
