+# Kibana Notebook
+
+A Kibana notebook is an interface that lets you easily combine live visualizations and narrative text in a single notebook interface.
+
+With Kibana notebooks, you can interactively explore data by running different visualizations and share your work with team members to collaborate on a project.
+
+You can add visualization paragraphs for creating graphs and markdown paragraphs for writing descriptions. You can choose multiple timelines to compare and contrast visualizations.
+
+Common use cases include creating postmortem reports, designing runbooks, building live infrastructure reports, and writing documentation.
