# Locating Outputs

When your workflow completes, Workbench helps you locate your output files without directly managing the files themselves. The actual file locations are determined by your workflow engine configuration.

## Understanding Output Locations

Output files remain in the storage location specified by your workflow engine. While Workbench doesn't move or copy these files, it provides a detailed list of output locations through the workflow run's monitoring page.

## Viewing Your Outputs

To find your workflow outputs:

1. Navigate to your run's details page through the Monitor page
2. Select the "Outputs" tab
3. View the JSON-formatted output list, where:
   * Keys are output variable names from your WDL workflow
   * Values are full file paths to your outputs

For example:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```json
"test.hello.response": "gs://workspaces-wes-staging/test/f00d7a09-49b3-4a0f-9d53-fdc5683cb792/call-hello/stdout"
```

{% endcode %}

## Cloud Storage Locations

File paths indicate your cloud storage platform:

* Google Cloud paths begin with `gs://`
* Amazon Web Services paths begin with `s3://`
* Microsoft Azure paths have no special prefix

### Working with Output Files

To work with your output files:

* Download the complete JSON output list using the "Download" button
* Copy the JSON contents using the "Copy" button for programmatic access
* Use your cloud provider's recommended tools to move or copy files
