User interface components
When opening bug reports or sending emails to the Jupyter mailing list, it is useful to know the names of different UI components so that other developers and users have an easier time helping you diagnose your problems.

Notebook Editor
Once you've selected a Notebook to edit, the Notebook will open in the Notebook Editor.
Interactive User Interface Tour of the Notebook

Edit Mode and Notebook Editor
