Abstract: In this review paper, we outline and exemplify the general method of constructing the supefield low-energy quantum effective action of supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theories with extended supersymmetry in the Coulomb phase, grounded upon the requirement of invariance under the non-manifest (hidden) part of the underlying supersymmetry. In this way we restore the calN=4 supersymmetric effective actions in 4D,calN=4 SYM, calN=2 supersymmetric effective actions in 5D,calN=2 SYM and calN=(1,1) supersymmetric effective actions in 6D,calN=(1,1) SYM theories. The manifest off-shell fractions of the full supersymmetry are, respectively, 4D,calN=2, 5D,calN=1 and 6D,calN=(1,0) supersymmetries. In all cases the effective actions depend on the corresponding covariant superfield SYM strengths and the hypermultiplet superfields. The whole construction essentially exploits a power of the harmonic superspace formalism.
