Using the visualization graph

Every workflow run generates a real-time graph that illustrates the run progress. You can use this graph to monitor and debug workflows.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.

  2. Under your repository name, click Actions.

  5. The graph displays each job in the workflow. An icon to the left of the job name indicates the status of the job. Lines between jobs indicate dependencies.
