Jupyter tool window
Jupyter tool window appears when you have any of the Jupyter servers launched. The Server tab of this window shows the current state of the Jupyter server and the link to the notebook in a browser.
It also provides controls to stop the running server (
) and launch the stopped server (
).
Jupyter console
You can execute commands in a Jupyter Console:
Click
Open Jupyter Console on the notebook toolbar. This button is enabled when you have started a Jupyter server for the current notebook. You can open one console for each notebook file.Type a command or a series of commands and press
on the console toolbar.
The Variables tab provides a detailed report about variable values of the executed cell. The tab automatically opens when you launch the Jupyter console.
Jupyter Variables tool window
The Jupyter Variabes tool window will appear each time you execute a cell. If you need to hide it permanently, go to and uncheck the Show Variables tool window on execution checkbox.
