Amazon SageMaker Studio UI Overview

Amazon SageMaker Studio extends the JupyterLab interface. Previous users of JupyterLab will notice the similarity of the user interface, including the workspace. Studio adds many additions to the interface. The most prominent additions are detailed in the following sections. For an overview of the basic JupyterLab interface, see The JupyterLab Interface.

The following image shows SageMaker Studio with the file browser open and the Studio landing page displayed. The Studio version is shown on the bottom-left of the landing page. To update to the latest version, see Update Amazon SageMaker Studio.

At the top of the screen is the menu bar. At the left of the screen is the left sidebar which contains icons to open file browsers, resource browsers, and tools. At the right of the screen is the right sidebar, represented by the Settings icon ( ), which displays contextual property settings when open. Above the Settings icon, there's a button to provide feedback about your experiences with SageMaker Studio. At the bottom of the screen is the status bar.

The main work area is divided horizontally into two panes. The left pane is the file and resource browser. The right pane contains one or more tabs for resources such as notebooks, terminals, metrics, and graphs.

Main work area

The main work area consists of multiple tabs that contain your open notebooks and terminals, and detailed information about your experiments and endpoints. One commonly used tab is the Trial Component List. This list is referred to as the Leaderboard because it's where you can compare experiments and trials. For more information, see View and Compare Amazon SageMaker Experiments, Trials, and Trial Components.
