# Results & history

> Where a result lives depends on how you ran it — on the node, or as a run in history.

Every run produces a result. Where that result lives depends on **how** you ran it.

## On the node, or in history

A [single-node run](/concepts/single-node-run) keeps its result **on the node**. Each node has its own append-only list of past runs, so the output stays right there, next to the node that made it. It does **not** create a run history entry.

A [full workflow run](/concepts/full-run) — or any run from the [Runner](/concepts/runner) — is captured as a run in the **history** instead. Both the editor and the Runner surface that history. Open a past run and you see every node's output for that one run, together.

| You ran               | The result lives                    |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Single node**       | On the node — no history entry.     |
| **Full / Runner run** | A run in history (editor + Runner). |

## The takeaway

To revisit one node's recent outputs, look **at the node**. To revisit a whole run, **open history**.

Results are kept either way. Both lists are append-only — nothing is overwritten — so you can compare runs against each other and look back over time.

<Note>
  Don't go hunting for a single-node test in the run history. It was never recorded there — it's on the node you ran.
