Working with Notebooks

📄️ Notebook Workspaces

A workspace is a shared, persistent file system that you open inside JupyterLab. It holds the notebooks you and your team work on, the SSH keys you need for source control, and any data files you upload while exploring. The workspace lives between sessions — close your browser, come back tomorrow, and your files, kernels, and JupyterLab tab layout are right where you left them.

📄️ Real-Time Collaboration

Syntasa Notebooks support standard JupyterLab Real-Time Collaboration (RTC). RTC is on by default for every notebook in every workspace; there is nothing to configure. When two or more workspace members open the same notebook, their edits, cursors, and cell outputs appear live in each participant's view.

📄️ Notebook Cards vs JupyterLab Notebooks

Inside a workspace you can work with two kinds of notebook: notebook cards and JupyterLab notebooks. Both are ordinary .ipynb files, both run on the same kernels, and both expose the same JupyterLab toolbars. The difference is how they are created and where they show up on the platform. Mostly that difference is about portal visibility, not how the notebook itself behaves.
