-A JupyterLab extension to support iterative data analysis.
+Loops is a JupyterLab extension to support iterative and exploratory data analysis in computational notebooks.
 
-## Requirements
+Loops automatically tracks the notebook's history and visualizes it next to the notebook.
+Loops shows the evolution of the notebook over time and highlights differences between versions to reveal the impact of changes made within a notebook.
+Loops visualizes differences in code, markdown, tables, visualizations, and images.
+For a quick overview of loops, see our preview video on YouTube:
 
-- JupyterLab >= 4.0.0

-## Install
+Try loops yourself on Binder with two example notebooks for which the analysis process has been recorded. Loops is part of JuypterLab's sidebar and can be opened from there.
 
-To install the extension, execute:
+- Use Case 1: Concert Data Analaysis [![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/jku-vds-lab/loops/main?labpath=notebooks/Use%20Case%201.ipynb)

-```bash
-pip install loops

+Abstract:
 
-## Uninstall
+> Exploratory data science is an iterative process of obtaining, cleaning, profiling, analyzing, and interpreting data. This cyclical way of working creates challenges within the linear structure of computational notebooks, leading to issues with code quality, recall, and reproducibility. To remedy this, we present Loops, a set of visual support techniques for iterative and exploratory data analysis in computational notebooks. Loops leverages provenance information to visualize the impact of changes made within a notebook. In visualizations of the notebook provenance, we trace the evolution of the notebook over time and highlight differences between versions. Loops visualizes the provenance of code, markdown, tables, visualizations, and images and their respective differences. Analysts can explore these differences in detail in a separate view. Loops not only improves the reproducibility of notebooks but also supports analysts in their data science work by showing the effects of changes and facilitating comparison of multiple versions. We demonstrate our approach's utility and potential impact in two use cases and feedback from notebook users from various backgrounds.

 There are two ways to set up _loops_ for development:
 
-- with [VS Code devContainers](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers) (recommended), which sets up Jupyter and the dependencies in a container
-- with a local setup, the default way for JupyterLab extension. Works with every Code Editor
