# Show or Hide History Log Columns

**Audience:** Super Admin, Admin\
**Page type:** Task guide\
**Status:** Draft\
**Owner:** Compassly Documentation Team\
**Last verified:** 2026-04-06

## Purpose

Use the column selector on **History logs** to show or hide table columns.

## Before you start

* You must be on the **History logs** page.
* A report must already be generated.

## Role differences

* **Super Admin / Admin:** Can use the column selector in the verified UI.
* **Other roles:** \[VERIFY: confirm whether any non-admin roles can change visible columns.]

## Steps

1. Open **History logs**.
2. Click the column selector icon in the upper-right corner of the table.
3. Review the list of available columns.
4. Clear a checkbox to hide a column.
5. Select a checkbox again to show that column.
6. Close the dropdown when you are done.

## Important

* All visible columns are selected by default.
* Hiding a column changes the page display only.
* Downloads still include all columns, even if some columns are hidden on the page.
* The **Client** column can also be hidden automatically depending on the generated report.

## What happens next

* Continue reviewing the table with the layout you need.
* Use filters, search, or downloads as needed.

## 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://compassly.gitbook.io/compassly-docs/core-modules/audit-logs/show-or-hide-history-log-columns.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.
