Overview
JupyterLab is the next generation user interface for Project Jupyter
JupyterLab goes beyond the classic Jupyter Notebook by providing a flexible and extensible web application with a set of reusable components. You can arrange multiple notebooks, text editors, terminals, output areas, and custom components using tabs/panels and collapsible sidebars. These components are carefully designed to enable you to use them together or on their own to support new workflows (for example, you can send code from a file to a code console with a keystroke, or move cells around a notebook or between notebooks with drag-and-drop).
JupyterLab has full support for Jupyter Notebook documents. In addition, it enables other models of interactive computing, such as:
- [Code Consoles]() provide transient scratchpads for running code interactively, with full support for rich output.
- [Kernel-backed documents]() allow code in any text file (Markdown, Python, R, LaTeX, etc.) to be run interactively in any Jupyter kernel.
JupyterLab also offers a unified model for viewing and handling data formats. This allows data in many formats (images, CSV, JSON, Markdown, PDF, Vega, Vega-Lite, etc.) to be opened as a file or returned by a kernel as rich output. See [File and output formats]() for more information.
JupyterLab is served from the same server and uses the same notebook document format as the classic Jupyter Notebook.
