# Creating a New Blank Notebook
## Creating a Notebook on JupyterHub
{% hint style="danger" %}
Notebooks created and stored on Brown's JupyterHub will persist between logins, but will not have any long-term redundant backups . Should you lose permissions to access the hub (i.e., end of semester), or should the hub crash, these files may be lost. To back up your Notebooks, please download them to your local hard drive or push them to GitHub.
{% endhint %}
To create a notebook on JupyterHub, follow the instructions below:
1. Select the localFile Browser from left sidebar
2. Create a new launcher using the 
New Launcher button
3. Click **Python 3** under the **Notebook** section
4. A new “Unititled(#).ipynb” file will appear in your current working drive directory and a blank Notebook will launch. Click on "Untitled" to change the name of the file
