1. If your organization has multiple notebooks, identify the Notebook Name from the Notebook List section.
2. Run the following command in your terminal, and replace \<notebook name> with the name of the notebook you want to stop:

```
cldkctl notebook stop <notebook name>
```

3. If your notebook is running in a different namespace, include the --namespace flag followed by the namespace name.
4. Wait for the system to gracefully shut down the notebook.
5. Once the process completes successfully, the terminal displays the message “✔ Notebook stopped”.

To verify the notebook’s current state, refer to the Notebook List section.
