# Creating a Notebook

The **Notebook** tab lets the user write and execute code. The user can harness the full power of popular python libraries to analyze and visualize data.

The users get two options to start with their data science exploration:

1. By [**Creating a new Notebook** ](https://docs.bdb.ai/7.6/data-science-lab/project/various-tabs-to-work-with/notebook/ways-to-access-notebook/creating-a-notebook)**​**
2. By [**Uploading a Notebook**](https://docs.bdb.ai/7.6/data-science-lab/project/various-tabs-to-work-with/notebook/ways-to-access-notebook/uploading-a-notebook)**​**
