# Previewing a Pipeline

It is possible to view an image of the full pipeline before running it. All saved and imported pipelines are available for all users on a Partek Flow instance to preview. To preview a pipeline:

1. Click on a circular [data node](https://help.partek.illumina.com/tutorials/creating-and-analyzing-a-project/the-analyses-tab#data-and-task-nodes) under the [*Analyses*](https://help.partek.illumina.com/partek-flow/tutorials/creating-and-analyzing-a-project/the-analyses-tab) tab and expand the **Pipelines** section from the menu on the right. The [context-sensitive menu](https://help.partek.illumina.com/tutorials/creating-and-analyzing-a-project/the-analyses-tab#the-context-sensitive-menu) will only display pipelines that can be applied to the data type of the selected data node
2. Click **Preview pipeline** (<img src="https://1384254481-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVEESmJAPppJ3ijFq5aR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-56efbfd489427a7acd8fd46f0bc08914232029e2%2Fpreview_icon_magnifying_glass_blue.png?alt=media" alt="preview_icon_magnifying_glass_blue" data-size="line">) for the pipeline you want to preview (Figure 1)
