# 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.

You can also hide multiple columns at once, or show hidden columns again directly on the grid.

1. Click the header of the target column to select it. To select multiple columns, Shift-click or Ctrl-click (Command-click on macOS) the column headers.
2. Right-click a header of the selected columns to display the context menu.
3. Select "Hide Columns" to hide the selected columns.
4. Select "Show Columns" to show again, all at once, the hidden columns included in the selected range. Select a range of columns that spans the hidden columns before executing it.

{% hint style="info" %}
"Show Columns" is displayed only when there are hidden columns that can be shown again. The columns eligible to be shown again are those at the same level as the column header you right-clicked.
{% endhint %}

To switch the visible / hidden state of all the columns included in the sheet from a list, 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.
