# Start Deka Notebook Service

Start Deka Notebook is one of the features available in the Service Portal Cloudeka, used to start the Deka Notebook service. On the Deka Notebook page, select the notebook you want to start, then click the **Start** button.

If the process is successful, the notebook status will change to **Running** and the system will display a notification indicating that the notebook has started successfully.
