User guide

Working with notebooks

Create a new file with the .*book extension. The list of supported notebook types you can find in the Supported language kernels section.

Create a code cell (click the +Code button) and paste any code.

If you need to add description to this code, you can create a markdown cell (click the +Markdown button) and paste any markdown text.

Select a kernel that supports this type of code and run the code cell to test it.

Most cell types support metadata. Within the metadata, you can provide specific fields that allow you to execute cell code in different ways.

You can also provide specific metadata for the notebook itself to change the way it interprets the contents of all cells inside.

NOTE: each notebook type supports its own metadata field types (for notebooks and cells). To see what fields you can provide, open the Kernel Information window from the Kernel Manager pane.

Managing kernels

To manage extension kernels (enable / disable / display info, etc) you need to open the Kernel Manager extension panel.

Kernel Manager

This panel allows you to manage installed kernels and view information about kernel usage.
