(reopen-document)=

As with the classic Jupyter Notebook, when you close a notebook document, code console, or terminal, the underlying kernel or terminal running on the server continues to run. This enables you to perform long-running actions and return later. The Running panel enables you to re-open or focus the document linked to a given kernel or terminal:

</div>

The recently closed and currently open documents can be searched in the modal view, which can be opened using a keyboard shortcut, or by clicking the [↗] icon in the running sidebar.
