# History

**History** in **Workflow Builder** helps you review what happened inside the current workflow. Open it from the **History** icon in the top-right toolbar. This view is different from **Workspace History**. It focuses on the workflow you are editing now.

## What you can do in History

Use History to:

* review full workflow executions
* review single-node preview runs
* check status, timing, duration, and credits
* open a record to inspect more details

## Open History

Click the **History** icon in the top-right toolbar of the builder.

This opens a panel with 2 tabs:

* **Trigger**
* **Preview**

## Trigger tab

The **Trigger** tab shows the history of full workflow runs.

Use this tab after you click **Execute** and run the entire flow.

This helps you answer questions like:

* Did the full workflow run successfully?
* When did it start and end?
* How many credits did it use?
* How long did the run take?

Each row shows summary information such as:

* name or run ID
* status
* source
* created time
* start time
* end time
* credits
* duration

## Preview tab

The **Preview** tab shows the history of single-node runs.

Use this tab when you test one node by itself instead of executing the whole workflow.

This is useful when you want to check one step quickly before testing the full flow.

Each row can show details such as:

* node name
* status
* start time
* end time
* credits
* duration
* user

## Open record details

Click the **arrow** on a record to open more details.

Use this view when you need to understand exactly what happened during a run.

You can review details such as:

* time information
* credit usage
* duration
* which nodes ran inside the workflow
* where the run completed or failed

## When to use Trigger vs Preview

* Use **Trigger** to review full workflow execution history.
* Use **Preview** to review tests for individual nodes.
* Use the detail view when you need deeper troubleshooting.

## Good to know

* This History view belongs to **Workflow Builder**.
* It only shows history related to the current workflow.
* **Trigger** and **Preview** serve different purposes.
* Credits and duration help you understand cost and performance.

### Next steps

* Review the full builder in [Overview](/workflow-builder/overview.md).
* For workspace-wide tracking, see [Workspace History](/workspace/history.md).
