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 ArcGIS Notebooks home page. Notebooks you create, add, and that are shared with your organization are available on the home page, where you can search for them using the search function or filter by date modified, date created, tags, or status.

Note:

Creating or adding an existing notebook may take several minutes.

To create a notebook or a copy of a notebook from the Notebooks home page, complete the following steps:

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

   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 (Standard or Advanced) or Template notebooks from the drop-down list.
     • Standard—Optimized for administrative tasks, lightweight analytics, and basic engineering workflows.
     • Advanced—Provides a runtime environment for advanced analytics, large-scale data engineering, and some machine learning workflows.
     • Advanced with GPU support—Leverages GPU resources for deep learning, image analysis, and computationally intensive workflows.
     • Template notebooks—A collection of ready to use notebooks organized into predefined categories that allow you to begin with a working example. Templates are grouped into the following categories: Administration, Content Management, Data Science and Spatial Analysis, Deep Learning, and Maps and Apps. Selecting a template opens a notebook that is preloaded with code and guidance on how to use the code.
   • To create a copy of a notebook, choose a notebook from My notebooks, Shared notebooks, or Esri sample notebooks.

   The notebook opens.

4. Click Save as.

   The Save notebook as window appears.

5. Add Title text and, optionally, complete the Folder, Tags, and Summary options.
6. Click Save notebook.

   The notebook is saved and added to My notebooks.

Add a notebook from your device

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.

To add a notebook from your device, complete the following steps:

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. Provide 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 users find your item.
7. Optionally, provide tags that describe the item.

   Separate the terms with commas (for example, Data analysis is considered one tag; but 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 the 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).
