You can preview, edit, or delete your Saved Actions from the [Action Catalog](https://app.datadoghq.com/workflow/action-catalog) tab.

To find a saved action:

1. From the [Workflow Automation](https://app.datadoghq.com/workflow/) page, click [**Action Catalog**](https://app.datadoghq.com/workflow/action-catalog).
1. Click **Saved Actions** and browse through the list for the Saved Action you'd like to preview, edit, or delete.
1. Hover over the action and click **Preview/Edit saved configurations** to be presented with a preview of the action.
1. From the preview screen, select the action to edit or delete it.

If you did not create the action, you cannot edit it directly. Instead select the **Clone** icon to copy it and make your configuration changes. You cannot delete an action that you did not create.
