A Notebook under the DS Lab plugin is a collection of cells. Cells that contain either explanatory text (Markdown) or executable code and its output. Click a cell to select it.

You can add new cells by using the [**+Code**](https://docs.bdb.ai/bdb-documentation/data-science-lab/various-tabs-to-work-with/notebook/notebook-page/notebook-cells/using-a-code-cell) and [**+Markdown**](https://docs.bdb.ai/bdb-documentation/data-science-lab/various-tabs-to-work-with/notebook/notebook-page/notebook-cells/using-a-markdown-cell) options given at the bottom of the cell.
