# Show or hide results

## Choose whether participants should see the results while voting is in progress or only after the voting has ended.

When creating a Prioritize activity, you can choose whether the results should be visible to participants.

### Show results

When participants can see the results immediately, they receive direct feedback on their participation.

Benefits include:

- Increased engagement
- Greater transparency
- Clear and immediate feedback

### Hide results

In some situations, it may be better to hide the results until voting has ended.

This can be useful for:

- Sensitive topics
- Strategic decisions
- Situations where you want to minimize influence between participants

### Our recommendation

In most cases, we recommend showing the results. Immediate feedback can help encourage participation and engagement.
