Recommendation

To avoid workflow disruptions, ArcGIS Notebooks users must take the following steps by June 2026:

  1. Review runtime version
    • Go to the Notebooks home page and check the runtime version for each notebook under "My notebooks" or "Shared notebooks". A red triangular caution sign indicates a retired runtime.
  2. Review and choose compatible runtime
    • Review the available Python libraries and their compatibility with different runtime versions.
    • Choose a runtime version that is compatible with your code, considering library availability and compatibility.
  3. Update runtime version
    • From the Notebooks homepage, select the notebook items to update and click "Update runtimeā€.
    • Alternatively, open the notebook's item page and navigate to the Settings tab.
    • Select the latest runtime version compatible with your code from the drop-down list.
  4. Test the notebook
    • After updating the runtime version, test your notebook to ensure it works as expected.
    • If the notebook has been published as a web tool, overwrite the web tool to update the runtime associated with it.
