# Show / Hide Column

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

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.
