-# Jupyter extension for Visual Studio Code
+# Jupyter Extension for Visual Studio Code
 
-A [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/VSCode) with rich support for the [Python language](https://www.python.org/) (for all [actively supported versions](https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches) of the language: 2.7, >=3.6), including features such as IntelliSense, linting, debugging, code navigation, code formatting, Jupyter notebook support, refactoring, variable explorer, test explorer, snippets, and more!
+A [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter) that provides basic notebook support for [language kernels](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels) that are supported in [Jupyter Notebooks](https://jupyter.org/) today. Many language kernels will work with no modification. To enable advanced features, modifications may be needed in the VS Code language extensions.
 
-## Quick start
 
--   **Step 1.** [Install a supported version of Python on your system](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial#_prerequisites) (note: that the system install of Python on macOS is not supported).
--   **Step 2.** Install the Jupyter extension for Visual Studio Code.
--   **Step 3.** Open or create a Python file and start coding!
+## Working with Python
 
-## Set up your environment
+Whether you are on VS Code Stable or VS Code Insiders, if you would like to work with Python just make sure you're using the latest version of the [Python Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python) to enjoy the joint partnership  of the Python and Juypter Extensions!
 
-<!-- use less words -->
+Please follow the [Python Extension ReadMe](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/blob/main/README.md) instructions to get started and visit the [Python Documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support) to learn more about how the Python and Jupyter Extension are working together to provide an optimum Python notebooks experience.
 
--   Select your Python interpreter by clicking on the status bar
+## Working with other Languages

+The Jupyter Extension supports other languages such as Julia and R (as well as Python) in VS Code Insiders with our new Native Notebooks Experience!
 
--   Configure the debugger through the Debug Activity Bar
+### Quick Start
 
-      <img src=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter/main/images/ConfigureDebugger.gif width=734 height=413>
+-   **Step 1.** Install [VS Code Insiders](https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/)
 
--   Configure tests by running the `Configure Tests` command
+-   **Step 2** If not working with Python, make sure to have a Jupyter kernelspec that corresponds to the language you would like to use installed on your machine.

+-   **Step 3.** Install the [Jupyter Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter)
 
-## Jupyter Notebook quick start
+-   **Step 4.** Open or create a notebook file and start coding!
 
--   Open or create a Jupyter Notebook file (.ipynb) and start coding in our Notebook Editor!
+- **Special Note:**  The Jupyter Extension in VS Code Insiders will include our Native Notebooks experience! To opt out:
+    - Open the command palette (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + P, iOS: Command + Shift + P) and select "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"
+    - Add the following code to your JSON settings:
+     `"jupyter.experiments.optOutFrom": ["NativeNotebookEditor"],`
 
-      <img src=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter/main/images/OpenOrCreateNotebook.gif width=1029 height=602>
+To use the latest version of the extension:
+-  Set the "jupyter.insidersChannel" setting to "daily" or "weekly" based on how often you would like the extension to check for updates
+
+
+## Notebooks Quick Start
+
+- To create a new notebook open the command palette (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + P, iOS: Command + Shift + P) and select the command `"Jupyter: Create New Blank Jupyter Notebook"`
+
+     <img src=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter/main/images/Jupyter%20README/CreateNewNotebook.png>
+
+- Select your kernel by clicking on the kernel picker in the bottom right of the status bar or by invoking the `"Notebook: Select Notebook Kernel"` command.
+
+     <img src=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter/main/images/Jupyter%20README/KernelPicker.gif?>
+
+- Change the cell language by clicking the language picker or by invoking the `"Notebook: Change Cell Language"` command.
