Understand the Workspace user interface in EMR Studio

The EMR Studio Workspace user interface is based on the JupyterLab interface with icon-denoted tabs on the left sidebar. When you pause over an icon, you can see a tooltip that shows the name of the tab. Choose tabs from the left sidebar to access the following panels.

  • File Browser – Displays the files and directories in the Workspace, as well as the files and directories of linked Git repositories.

  • Running Kernels and Terminals – Lists all of the kernels and terminals running in the Workspace. For more information, see Managing kernels and terminals in the official JupyterLab documentation.

  • Git – Provides a graphical user interface for performing commands in the Git repositories attached to the Workspace. This panel is a JupyterLab extension called jupyterlab-git. For more information, see jupyterlab-git.

  • EMR clusters – Lets you attach a cluster to or detach a cluster from the Workspace to run notebook code. The EMR cluster configuration panel also provides advanced configuration options to help you create and attach a new cluster to the Workspace. For more information, see Create and attach a new EMR cluster to an EMR Studio Workspace.

  • Amazon EMR Git Repository – Helps you link the Workspace with up to three Git repositories. For details and instructions, see Link Git-based repositories to an EMR Studio Workspace.

  • Notebook Examples – Provides a list of notebook examples that you can save to the Workspace. You can also access the examples by choosing Notebook Examples on the Launcher page of the Workspace.

  • Commands – Offers a keyboard-driven way to search for and run JupyterLab commands. For more information, see the Command palette page in the JupyterLab documentation.

  • Notebook Tools – Lets you select and set options such as cell slide type and metadata. The Notebook Tools option appears in the left sidebar after you open a notebook file.

  • Open Tabs – Lists the open documents and activities in the main work area so that you can jump to an open tab. For more information, see the Tabs and single-document mode page in the JupyterLab documentation.

  • Collaboration – Lets you enable or disable Workspace collaboration, and manage collaborators. To see the Collaboration panel, you must have the necessary permissions. For more information, see Set ownership for Workspace collaboration.
