Purpose

The purpose of the Collaboratory.Lab tutorial is to allow a new user to create and use their first notebook, as well as explaining the basic principles to allow a user to continue beyond the scope of the tutorial.

How to get to the Lab

To get to the Lab, simply go to the Collab you want to work on and click on the "Lab" option on the right hand navigation element, as shown in the following screenshot:

How to create a notebook

After you have navigated to the Lab, you can see a list of currently existing notebooks in the left hand navigation menu. These notebooks can all be used by you, however any changes you make will not be saved unless you are the owner of the file. On the right hand side you will see your "Launcher" and it is here you can create a new notebook.
