<p>If you are new to JupyterLab (or Jupyter notebooks in general), a good starting point is its <ahref="https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html"target="_blank">official documentation</a>, which includes a detailed user guide. There is also a nice and short (~ 6 min.) <ahref="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5YyoCKxEOU"target="_blank">introduction video</a> available.</p>
<p>For specific components integrated to the platform (e.g. <ahref="https://github.com/cdr/code-server"target="_blank">Code Server</a>), please refer to their own documentation.</p>
