# Show or Hide a Saved Search

Show or hide your own Saved Searches from displaying in the left sidebar of Request- and Task-related pages.

## Overview

You may show or hide your own Saved Searches. However, you cannot show or hide Saved Searches which have been shared with you. You can only control visibility of Saved Searches that you have [created](/v1/docs/create-and-share-a-saved-search).

Hiding a Saved Search only hides it from the left sidebar for its specific Saved Search type. For example, toggling visibility of a Request-related Saved Search only affects the left sidebar on Request-related pages. Shared recipients of a Saved Search may still use that Saved Search to view search results.
