The Wolfram Language's sophisticated notebook paradigm provides a uniquely powerful way to manage, organize, document, and present computations—from a few input and output lines to industrial-size applications.

Executing Computations

— evaluate the current cell

— evaluate the current selection in place

Aborting, Interrupting & Debugging

— abort a computation

— interrupt a computation, entering a subsession

Debugger — start the debugger

Arranging Computations in Notebooks

— copy down an input line (Insert ▶ Input from Above)

— copy down an output line (Insert ▶ Output from Above)

double-click input cell bracket — hide the output to a computation

double-click output cell bracket — hide the input to a computation

Delete All Output  ▪  Notebook History

Kernel Management

Quit Kernel — quit kernel, leaving the front end running

Notebook's Kernel — specify the local or remote kernel to use for a notebook

Notebook's Default Context — how much to localize variables in each window

Initialization Cell — a cell to evaluate when the notebook is opened

NotebookAutoSave — whether to automatically save after each computation
