# How to Share Notebooks

Notebooks are a web-based Jupyter IDE with shared persistent storage for long-term development and inter-notebook collaboration, backed by accelerated compute.

You can collaborate with your team through Gradient notebooks. Notebooks are shared at the team level and use [shared persistent storage](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/paperspace/notebooks/details/storage-architecture/index.html.md) at the team level. You can make notebooks public or private.

The **Share** button in the notebook dashboard provides a way to generate a shareable link for a notebook.

If public access is granted, anyone with the link can view the contents of the notebook.
