Make Hiding & Unhiding columns an Automation function

Options

Perhaps my "search foo" is a bit rusty, but I could not find an existing suggestion for this specific issue, only several tangentially related suggestions.

I believe this is pretty self-explanatory. I have sheets with several checkbox columns that are typically hidden, but often need to be unhidden to perform some action. (usually to specify which rows will be included in different automations) Using reports is not a viable option for my use case, and manually finding and unhiding these columns can be very time consuming, as they are spread out among dozens of other columns.

The ability to create separate Hide and Unhide automations (that I would run manually) would be a great timesaver.

    I too have several use cases where triggering hide/unhide with a checkbox would be very useful. It would allow me to create multi use sheets while keeping all the data in one place rather than create different versions of the same sheet then having to aggregate the data.
