Interactive data interfaces with inputs and visualizations for sharing insights without code

Apps in Livedocs are interactive interfaces for your data — perfect for sharing insights without exposing the entire underlying notebook.

Instead of sending someone a raw document, you can give them an app with interactive components like sliders, dropdowns, and date pickers so they can explore the data themselves.

Pro tip: This is the key distinction between a data pro who’s on top of their game and a noob.

From Docs to Apps

You can use cells from your notebook to build an app:

  • Parameterize your notebook by adding interactive elements like sliders, text inputs, number inputs, or date pickers.
  • These inputs feed into your queries, code, and visualizations to create dynamic analyses.

How to Create an App

  1. Build Your Analysis in a Doc
    Do all your work in the notebook first — queries, transformations, visualizations.

  2. Switch to App Mode
    In the header, select App.

  3. Drag Cells into Your App
    The left sidebar will show previews of all your cells. Drag the ones you want into the app layout.

  4. Organize with Tabs

    • Add multiple tabs for different sections of your analysis.
    • Rename and reorder tabs.
    • Resize cells in the app using the drag handles.

  5. Publish
    Once you’re happy with the layout, publish the app:

    • Workspace Visibility – Everyone in your workspace can see it.
    • Public Visibility – Use the Share button to make it available to anyone with the link.
