-Notebooks have a known issue with [tenants]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/security-plugin/access-control/multi-tenancy/). If you open a notebook and can't see its visualizations, you might be under the wrong tenant, or you might not have access to the tenant at all.

+An OpenSearch Dashboards notebook is an interface that lets you easily combine code snippets, live visualizations, and narrative text in a single notebook interface.
 
 Notebooks let you interactively explore data by running different visualizations that you can share with team members to collaborate on a project.

+A notebook is a document composed of two elements: code blocks (Markdown/SQL/PPL) and visualizations. Choose multiple timelines to compare and contrast visualizations.

+You can also generate [reports]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/dashboards/reporting/) directly from your notebooks.
 
 Common use cases include creating postmortem reports, designing runbooks, building live infrastructure reports, and writing documentation.
 
+Tenants in OpenSearch Dashboards are spaces for saving notebooks and other OpenSearch Dashboards objects. For more information, see [OpenSearch Dashboards multi-tenancy]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/security-plugin/access-control/multi-tenancy/).
