+# Server Imports in Notebook 7
+
+Notebook 7 is now based on Jupyter Server, which lets users run multiple Jupyter frontends (e.g. Notebook, JupyterLab, NBClassic, etc.) on the same server.
+
+Prior to Notebook 7, the Classic Notebook server included the server modules in the `notebook` package. This means it was possible to import the server modules from the `notebook` package, for example:
+
+```python
+from notebook.auth import passwd
+
+passwd("foo")
+```
+
+Or:
+
+```python
+from notebook import notebookapp
+
+notebookapp.list_running_servers()
+```
+
+In Notebook 7, these server modules are now exposed by the `jupyter_server` package. The code snippets above should be updated to:
+
+```python
+from jupyter_server.auth import passwd
+
+passwd("foo")
+```
+
+And:
+
+```python
+from jupyter_server import serverapp
+
+serverapp.list_running_servers()
+```
+
+These are just examples, so you may have to adjust your use of `notebook` imports based on the specific server modules you were using.
