unhiding
Coming into view
Unhiding is revealing something that was concealed or making visible what was hidden.
In computing, unhiding restores files, rows, or interface elements that were deliberately hidden from view: After unhiding the columns, the missing data appeared.
The word implies reversing a previous act of concealment rather than discovering something naturally obscured.
