Documents (aka docs) in Livedocs are essentially notebooks — interactive spaces where you combine code, queries, visualizations, and text to explore and present your data.
Organizing Documents
- Use tags to group and organize your docs for easy navigation.
Cells: The Building Blocks
Docs are made up of cells. Each cell type has its own “special power” — like a character in a game — for example:
- SQL cells for database queries.
- Python cells for data transformation or modeling.
- Chart cells for visualizations.
- Text cells for narrative and context.
Running Documents
- Run All – Execute the entire document in order.
- Run Individual Cells – Run specific cells as needed.
- Scheduled Runs – Automate execution by scheduling the doc to run at set times.
From Docs to Apps
You can turn your doc into an app by publishing selected cells as an interactive experience.
Machines & Resources
Each doc runs on a machine — the compute environment that powers your work. Machines vary in memory and CPU:
- More resources = faster execution and better handling of large datasets.
- Check the status bar to see available memory and CPU usage.
Status Bar Indicators
- Resource Usage – View unutilized memory and CPU.
- Errors & Warnings – Quickly spot issues. You can fix them manually or use Livedocs AI for suggestions.
Sidebar Tools
The doc sidebar gives you quick access to:
- Variables – All Python variables, functions, imports, and dataframes returned by cells.
- Scheduled Runs – View and manage schedules.
- AI Agent – Get help with code, queries, or explanations.
- Keyboard Shortcuts – Speed up navigation and execution.
- Data Explorer – Browse all connected databases, view schemas (columns, types, descriptions), preview rows, and add new data sources.
