# Show Thinking / Hide Thinking
### Show Thinking
**Show Thinking** gives users a **visual cue** of where their request currently sits within LumiAI’s dynamic reasoning loop—without exposing every underlying step. It’s a lightweight way to track progress at a glance.
To enable Show Thinking mode, the user just has to enable the feature as seen in the screenshot below:
After entering a specific prompt, The cues will update as Lumi works—no extra action required until the result is delivered.\
### Hide Thinking
By toggling Hide Thinking, you can peek into the mind of LumiAI and see how it works through a particular problem in more detail.
The iterative problem-solving approach is represented in blocks; below are some aspects to highlight
* **Adaptive, not linear:** The blocks don’t represent a fixed sequence. Lumi may revisit earlier steps — clarifying intent, pulling in new context, or retrying reasoning — before moving forward.
* **Transparent:** Each block can expand to reveal more about the reasoning behind Lumi’s decisions.
* **Trust-building:** By showing *how* Lumi works through a problem, Hide Thinking builds confidence in the quality of the final result.

\&#xNAN;*Note: Many of LumiAI’s recursive steps—such as error handling, re-checking context, or refining partial answers—happen silently in the background. These adjustments ensure the final response is accurate and complete, without requiring user intervention.*
