Create a notebook

You can create a notebook or a copy of an existing notebook if you have the privileges to create and edit notebooks. You can also add an existing notebook from your device. You can create notebooks and manage running notebooks from the Notebooks home page. Notebooks you create, add, and that are shared with your organization can be found on the home page, where you can search for them using the search function or filter by date modified, date created, tags, or status.

To create a notebook or a copy of a notebook from the Notebooks home page, follow these steps:

1. Sign in as a user with privileges to create and edit notebooks.
2. On the navigation bar of your organization, click Notebook.

   The Notebooks home page appears.

3. From the Notebooks home page, do one of the following:
   • To create a notebook, click New notebook and choose a notebook runtime from the drop-down list.
   • To create a copy of a notebook, choose a notebook from My notebooks, Shared notebooks, or Esri sample notebooks.

   The notebook opens.

4. Click the Save drop-down menu and select Save As.

   The Save notebook as window appears.

5. Add a Title and, optionally, alter the Folder, Tags, and Summary.
6. Click Save notebook.

   The notebook is saved and added to My notebooks.

Add a notebook from your computer

If you have a notebook file (.ipynb) saved to your device, you can upload it to your content. When uploaded, it is added as a new item and its item page appears.

1. Verify that you are signed in and have privileges to create content.
2. From the My content tab of the Content page, click New item, and click Your device.
3. Choose the notebook file on your device.
4. Type a title.
5. Choose a folder in My content where you want to save the notebook.
6. If your organization's administrator configured content categories, click Assign categories and select up to 20 categories to help people find your item.
7. Optionally, type tags that describe the item.

   Separate the terms with commas (for example, Data analysis is considered one tag; Data, analysis is considered two tags). As you type, you can select any of the suggested tags that appear; suggestions are generated from tags you have added previously.

8. Select a runtime to use with your notebook.

   Note:

   The available notebook runtimes are determined by your notebook privileges.

9. Click Save.

Once you've added a notebook file, its item page appears, and you can edit the item and share the notebook (if you have sharing privileges).

A static preview of a notebook will be generated each time the notebook is saved in the notebook editor.

Note:

The notebook preview will not include rendering of map widgets that are in the notebook. Map widgets are only rendered in the notebook and will not be rendered in the static preview included with the result of a scheduled task.
