Use the Amazon SageMaker Studio Lab notebook toolbar
Amazon SageMaker Studio Lab notebooks extend the JupyterLab interface. For an overview of the basic
JupyterLab interface, see The JupyterLab
Interface
The following image shows the toolbar and an empty cell from a Studio Lab notebook.

When you hover over a toolbar icon, a tooltip displays the icon function. You can find additional notebook commands in the Studio Lab main menu. The toolbar includes the following icons:
Icon | Description |

![]() |
Save and checkpoint Saves the notebook and updates the checkpoint file. |
![]() |
Insert cell Inserts a code cell below the current cell. The current cell is noted by the blue vertical marker in the left margin. |
![]() |
Cut, copy, and paste cells Cuts, copies, and pastes the selected cells. |
![]() |
Run cells Runs the selected cells. The cell that follows the last-selected cell becomes the new-selected cell. |

Interrupt kernel Interrupts the kernel, which cancels the currently-running operation. The kernel remains active. |
![]() |
Restart kernel Restarts the kernel. Variables are reset. Unsaved information is not affected. |
![]() |
Restart kernel and re-run notebook Restarts the kernel. Variables are reset. Unsaved information is not affected. Then re-runs the entire notebook. |
![]() |
Cell type Displays or changes the current cell type. The cell types are:
|
![]() |
Checkpoint diff Opens a new tab that displays the difference between the notebook and the checkpoint file. For more information, see Get notebook differences. |
![]() |
Git diff Only enabled if the notebook is opened from a Git repository. Opens a new tab that displays the difference between the notebook and the last Git commit. For more information, see Get notebook differences. |

Kernel Displays or changes the kernel that processes the cells in the notebook.
|
![]() |
Kernel busy status Displays a kernel's busy status by showing the circle's edge and its interior as the same color. The kernel is busy when it is starting and when it is processing cells. Additional kernel states are displayed in the status bar at the bottom-left corner of Studio Lab. |
