About Home page

The Home page is where you organize and manage your workspaces and notebooks, and access your recent activities in Datalore and results of your work, such scheduled notebook runs or reports. The interface of the page basically consists of its sidebar, located on the left side of the screen, and the view of the menu selected from the sidebar, which takes up most of the screen. For example, when you log into Datalore for the first time, you are forwarded to the Notebooks menu of the default Private workspace, which contains only one notebook.

Start with the basics

Some of the basic things that you can do on the Home page:

Create a workspace: read about why and how to create a workspace in Manage workspaces.
Create a notebook: in most cases, this is the first thing to do. Notebook is the Datalore basic document type. Creating your own notebook is a good way to start learning the editor and write your first code in Datalore. Read more in Notebooks.

Manage your account: to access the menu with your account settings, click your avatar in the upper right corner of the page. Find more information in Account_settings.
