# History

## What History helps you do

History shows what happened when a workflow runs.

Use it to:

* Confirm a run completed
* Check who triggered it
* Review results or failures

### Open History

To review past runs, open **History** from the left navigation.

### Read the history list

Use the list to quickly check:

* Workflow name
* Run status
* Duration
* The person or source that triggered the run

![](/files/4z99r3KVpbSAI4mZ6ciS)

Use this view when you want a quick answer to: did it run?

### Open run details

Click a history record to open the details.

You can review two main tabs:

#### Result

The **Result** tab shows the final output.

Use it to confirm what the workflow returned.

#### Workflow

The **Workflow** tab shows how the run moved through the workflow.

Use it to find where a run stopped or changed.

* Learn broader monitoring in [Workspace History](/workspace/history.md).
