## Unhide a channel

This action lets a hidden [group channel](https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/platform-api/v3/channel/channel-overview#2-channel-types-3-group-channel) reappear on the channel list of a specific user or every member in the group channel. Hiding or unhiding a channel lets users organize their channel list based on those that require the most attention. Note that only group channels can be hidden or unhidden.
