To unhide events in bulk in Mixpanel, you can use the Lexicon feature in the Mixpanel UI. Here are the step-by-step instructions based on the latest documentation:
How to Unhide Events in Bulk
1. Go to Lexicon: - In your Mixpanel project, navigate to the Lexicon section. This is typically found under Data Governance or a similar menu.2. Select Hidden Events: - In Lexicon, you can filter or search for events that are currently hidden. The “Status” field will indicate whether an event is visible or hidden.3. Bulk Select Events: - Select one or more hidden events (you can use checkboxes or multi-select options).4. Unhide: - Once you have selected the events, the “Unhide” icon will appear. - Click Unhide. After confirmation, the status of the selected events will change to “Visible” and they will reappear in your event/property menus and reports.> “To show an event or property: Select one or more hidden events, event properties, or profile properties. The ‘Unhide’ icon appears. You can check the ‘Status’ field to determine whether an event or property is visible or hidden. Select Unhide. After you select Unhide, the event or property status changes to ‘Visible’.” Lexicon: Hiding Data---
Are New Events Hidden by Default?
By default, newly instrumented events are not hidden. Events only become hidden if you or another admin explicitly hide them in Lexicon, or if they become inactive (i.e., not fired in the last 30 days). There is no documented setting to automatically hide or unhide new events by default; all new events will appear as visible unless manually hidden or inactivated due to inactivity.> “Another option for hiding an event, property, or property value is to let it inactivate until it is hidden in report dropdown menus. Mixpanel’s report dropdown menus hide events that have not been fired within the last 30 days.” Lexicon: Hiding Data---
Summary
- Bulk unhide: Use Lexicon, filter for hidden events, select them, and click “Unhide.” - Default visibility: New events are visible by default unless manually hidden or inactivated due to inactivity.If you need to ensure all new events remain visible, no additional configuration is required—just avoid hiding them in Lexicon.If you need more advanced automation (e.g., via API), the current documentation does not mention such a feature. All actions must be performed via the Mixpanel UI as described above.
