## Documentation content

# Code intelligence

This page describes the coding intelligence features included in the code cells of DataRobot Notebooks.

### Code snippets

DataRobot provides a set of pre-defined code snippets, inserted as cells in a notebook, for commonly used methods in the DataRobot API as well as other data science tasks. These include connecting to external data sources, deploying a model, creating a model factory, and more. Access code snippets by selecting the code icon in the sidebar.

### Docstrings reference

When using a specific method or class, use the `Shift + Tab` keyboard shortcut directly from the code editor to query docstrings. Additional documentation appears as an overlay.

### Autocomplete

When [editing code](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/workbench/wb-notebook/wb-code-nb/wb-action-nb.html#modal-editor), you can autocomplete lines using the Tab key. To activate autocompletion, you must first [configure and start the notebook environment](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/workbench/wb-notebook/wb-code-nb/wb-env-nb.html).

### Syntax highlighting

When writing code in code cells, DataRobot highlights syntax for the language set in the notebook environment. Below is a sample of syntax highlighting for Python:
