.. _overview:
Get Started
===========
`JupyterLab <https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`_ is a next-generation web-based user interface for
`Project Jupyter <https://docs.jupyter.org/en/latest/>`_.

JupyterLab enables you to work with documents and activities such as
:ref:`Jupyter notebooks <notebook>`, text editors, terminals, and custom
components in a flexible, integrated, and extensible manner. For a demonstration
of JupyterLab and its features, you can view this video:

</div>
You can :ref:`arrange <interface>` multiple documents and activities side by side in the
work area using tabs and splitters. Documents and activities integrate with each
other, enabling new workflows for interactive computing, for example:
- :ref:`code-console` provide transient scratchpads for running code
interactively, with full support for rich output. A code console can be
linked to a notebook kernel as a computation log from the notebook, for
example.
- :ref:`Kernel-backed documents <kernel-backed-documents>` enable code in any
text file (Markdown, Python, R, LaTeX, etc.) to be run interactively in any
Jupyter kernel.
- Notebook cell outputs can be :ref:`mirrored into their own tab <cell-output-mirror>`,
side by side with the notebook, enabling simple dashboards with interactive controls
backed by a kernel.
- Multiple views of documents with different editors or viewers enable live
editing of documents reflected in other viewers. For example, it is easy to
have live preview of :ref:`markdown`, :ref:`csv`, or :ref:`vega-lite` documents.
JupyterLab also offers a unified model for viewing and handling data formats.
JupyterLab understands many file formats (images, CSV, JSON, Markdown, PDF,
Vega, Vega-Lite, etc.) and can also display rich kernel output in these formats.
See :ref:`file-and-output-formats` for more information.
To navigate the user interface, JupyterLab offers :ref:`customizable keyboard
shortcuts <shortcuts>`.
JupyterLab :ref:`extensions <user_extensions>` can customize or enhance any part
of JupyterLab, including new themes, file editors, and custom components.
JupyterLab uses the same `notebook document format <https://nbformat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__
as the classic Jupyter Notebook.
.. _classic:
What will happen to the Classic Notebook?
-----------------------------------------
As JupyterLab 4 development continues, and Notebook 7 development follows,
Notebook 7 will eventually replace the classic Jupyter Notebook.
Throughout this transition, the same notebook document format will
be supported by both the classic Notebook, Notebook 7 and JupyterLab.
As of JupyterLab 4, the Notebook web application, will no longer
be installed alongside JupyterLab as it is no longer a JupyterLab
dependency. To find out more about the future of the classic
Jupyter Notebook in the ecosystem, visit the
`Jupyter Notebook 7 documentation <https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrate_to_notebook7.html>`__.
