Notebooks is a Jupyter Notebook environment in ArcGIS that provides an interface for scripting, executing Python code, creating visualizations, and using data tools. Each notebook, and its code and resources, is stored as an itemAn item, also known as a content item, is a resource stored in a portal such as a web map, hosted layer, style, script tool, file, or notebook.Learn more in the portal or .ipynb file locally.

Notebooks support the use of ArcGIS API for Python, ArcPy, and various open-source Python libraries. They enable workflows such as data engineering, spatial analysis, machine learning, automation, collaboration, and storytelling workflows. Notebooks can be shared with others and used to create and share interactive maps, charts, and reports.
