# Explorer and Notebooks: investigations your team can rerun

**[Supabase](https://daily.dev/sources/supabase)** · 3 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Explorer, a new query editor in the Supabase Dashboard, queries both your database and your logs from one place. It introduces Notebooks: files saved in your supabase folder that combine SQL queries with markdown notes and chart renderings. Notebooks save queries, not results, so rerunning one always returns current data. They're versioned in your repo, reviewable in pull requests, and can be created or edited by the built-in Supabase Assistant or by hand. Explorer is in feature preview, turned on under Feature Previews in the dashboard, and the notebooks commands are available in the beta CLI.

## Questions this post answers

### What is Supabase Explorer and how does it differ from the old SQL Editor?

Explorer is Supabase's new query editor that replaces the SQL Editor in the dashboard sidebar and queries both your database and your logs from one interface, rendering results as tables or charts. It introduces Notebooks, files saved in your supabase folder combining SQL queries with markdown notes. It's available in feature preview, enabled under Feature Previews in the dashboard.

_daily.dev helps developers track new dashboard tooling like this as Supabase rolls out feature previews._

### What is a Supabase Notebook and where is it stored?

A Supabase Notebook is a file stored in your project's supabase folder that combines saved database or log query cells with markdown notes explaining the reasoning. It saves the queries themselves rather than results, so rerunning it later always returns current data, and because it lives in the repo it's versioned and reviewed through pull requests like any other code.

_Teams standardizing on reusable investigation workflows can follow Supabase feature rollouts on daily.dev._

### Can I create and edit Supabase Notebooks using the CLI?

Yes, notebooks commands are available in the beta version of the Supabase CLI, letting you pull a notebook created in the dashboard or write one locally and push it up so it appears in the dashboard. Results aren't saved to the file itself, so the same notebook can run against any branch.

_Developers adopting beta CLI features can keep up with Supabase's notebook tooling on daily.dev._
