# 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](/partek-flow/tutorials/creating-and-analyzing-a-project/the-analyses-tab.md#data-and-task-nodes) under the [*Analyses*](/partek-flow/tutorials/creating-and-analyzing-a-project/the-analyses-tab.md) tab and expand the **Pipelines** section from the menu on the right. The [context-sensitive menu](/partek-flow/tutorials/creating-and-analyzing-a-project/the-analyses-tab.md#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="/files/5DVR3tOSImHE2n5NMtco" alt="preview_icon_magnifying_glass_blue" data-size="line">) for the pipeline you want to preview (Figure 1)
