+#### Connecting to AgentScope Studio
+
+The agent server process can be connected to [AgentScope Studio](#209-gui-en) at startup, allowing the `to_dist` method in subsequent distributed applications to be assigned automatically by Studio without the need for any parameters.
+
+For scenarios where the agent server process is started using Python code, simply fill in the `studio_url` in the initialization parameters of `RpcAgentServerLauncher`. This requires that the URL is correct and accessible over the network, for example, the default URL for the Studio is `http://127.0.0.1:5000`.
+
+```python
+# import some packages
+
+# register models which can be used in the server
+agentscope.init(
+    model_configs=model_config_path_a,
+)
+# Create an agent service process
+server = RpcAgentServerLauncher(
+    host="ip_a",
+    port=12001,  # choose an available port
+    custom_agent_classes=[...], # register your customized agent classes
+    studio_url="http://studio_ip:studio_port",  # connect to AgentScope Studio
+)
+
+# Start the service
+server.launch()
+server.wait_until_terminate()
+```
+
+For scenarios using the command `as_server` in your command line, simply fill in the `--studio-url` parameter.
+
+```shell
+as_server --host ip_a --port 12001 --model-config-path model_config_path_a --agent-dir parent_dir_of_agent_a_and_b --studio-url http://studio_ip:studio_port
+```
+
+After executing the above code or command, you can enter the Server Manager page of AgentScope Studio to check if the connection is successful. If the connection is successful, the agent server process will be displayed in the page table, and you can observe the running status and resource occupation of the process in the page, then you can use the advanced functions brought by AgentScope Studio. This section will focus on the impact of `to_dist` method brought by AgentScope Studio, and please refer to [AgentScope Studio](#209-gui-en) for the specific usage of the page.
+
+After the agent server process successfully connects to Studio, you only need to pass the `studio_url` of this Studio in the `agentscope.init` method, and then the `to_dist` method no longer needs to fill in the `host` and `port` fields, but automatically select an agent server process that has been connected to Studio.
+
+```python
+# import some packages
+
+agentscope.init(
+    model_configs=model_config_path_a,
+    studio_url="http://studio_ip:studio_port",
+)
+
+a = AgentA(
+    name="A"
+    # ...
+).to_dist() # automatically select an agent server
+
+# your application code
+```
+
+> Note:
+>
+> - The Agent used in this method must be registered at the start of the agent server process through `custom_agent_classes` or `--agent-dir`.
+> - When using this method, make sure that the agent server process connected to Studio is still running normally.
+
+After the application starts running, you can observe in the Server Manager page of Studio which agent server process this Agent is specifically running on, and after the application is completed, you can also delete this Agent through the Server Manager page.

+#### 连接 AgentScope Studio
+
+智能体服务器进程可以在启动时连接 [AgentScope Studio](#209-gui-zh) ，从而让后续搭建的分布式应用中的 `to_dist` 方法不再需要填写任何参数，而是由 Stduio 为其自动分配智能体服务器进程。
+
+对于使用 Python 代码启动智能体服务器进程的场景，只需要在 `RpcAgentServerLauncher` 的初始化参数中填入 `studio_url` 即可，这里需要确保填写正确且能够通过网络访问，例如默认情况下启动的 Studio 的 URL 为 `http://127.0.0.1:5000`。
+
+```python
+# import some packages
+
+# register models which can be used in the server
+agentscope.init(
+    model_configs=model_config_path_a,
+)
+# Create an agent service process
+server = RpcAgentServerLauncher(
+    host="ip_a",
+    port=12001,  # choose an available port
+    custom_agent_classes=[...] # register your customized agent classes
+    studio_url="http://studio_ip:studio_port",  # connect to AgentScope Studio
+)
+
+# Start the service
+server.launch()
+server.wait_until_terminate()
+```
+
+对于使用命令行 `as_server` 的场景，也只需要在命令行中填入 `--studio-url` 参数。
+
+```shell
+as_server --host ip_a --port 12001 --model-config-path model_config_path_a  --agent-dir parent_dir_of_agent_a_and_b --studio-url http://studio_ip:studio_port
+```
+
+执行上述代码或命令后可以进入 AgentScope Studio 的 Server Manager 页面查看是否连接成功。如果连接成功，该智能体服务器进程会显示在页面的表格中，并且可以在页面中观察到该进程的运行状态以及资源占用情况，之后就可以使用 AgentScope Studio 所带来的高级功能了。本节将聚焦于 AgentScope Studio 对 `to_dist` 方法带来的影响，而页面的具体用法请参考 [AgentScope Studio](#209-gui-zh)。
+
+在智能体服务器进程成功连接 Studio 后，只需要在 `agentscope.init` 方法中传入该 Studio 的 `studio_url`，后续的 `to_dist` 方法就不再需要填写 `host` 和 `port` 域，而是自动选择一个已经连接到 Studio 的智能体服务器进程。
+
+```python
+# import some packages
+
+agentscope.init(
+    model_configs=model_config_path_a,
+    studio_url="http://studio_ip:studio_port",
+)
+
+a = AgentA(
+    name="A"
+    # ...
+).to_dist() # automatically select an agent server
+
+# your application code
+```
+
+> Note:
+>
+> - 该方法中使用的 Agent 必须在智能体服务器进程启动时就已经通过 `custom_agent_classes` 或 `--agent-dir` 注册。
+> - 使用该方法时需要确定连接到 Studio 的智能体服务器进程还在正常运行。
+
+在应用开始运行后，可以在 Studio 的 Server Manager 页面中观察该 Agent 具体运行在哪个智能体服务器进程上，应用运行完成后也可以通过 Server Manager 页面删除该 Agent。
+

+## Server Manager
+
+> 阅读本节内容需要先了解 AgentScope [分布式](#208-distribute-zh) 的基本概念及用法。
+
+Server Manager 是一个用于监控和管理 AgentScope 智能体服务器进程（Server）以及大规模分布式应用的图形化界面。
+
+### 注册 Server 进程
+
+在初始化 `RpcAgentServerLauncher` 时传入 `studio_url` 参数即可实现注册。
+
+```python
+# import some packages
+server = RpcAgentServerLauncher(
+    # ...
+    studio_url="http://studio_ip:studio_port",  # connect to AgentScope Studio
+)
+```
+
+更具体的注册方法请参考 [分布式](#208-distribute-zh) 中 *连接 AgentScope Studio* 部分。
+
+### 管理 Server 进程
+
+从 AgentScope Studio 主页面或侧边栏中的 Server Manager 按钮即可进入 Server Manager 页面。
+当前 Server Manager 页面由 Servers 列表， Agents 列表， Memory 列表三个部分构成。
+
+<h1 align="center">
+<img src="https://gw.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/O1CN01zvhoVE1MMrmbvu4mU_!!6000000001421-0-tps-3204-1854.jpg
+" width="600" alt="agentscope-manager">
+</h1>
+
+#### Servers 列表
+
+注册到 Studio 的智能体服务器进程（Server）都会显示在 Server Manager 页面的 Servers 列表中，列表中会不仅会显示每个 Server 的 `ID`, `Hostname`, `Port`, `Created Time`，还会显示每个 Server 的状态以及计算资源使用情况，包括 `Status`, `CPU Usage`, `Memory Usage`。
+
+其中 `Status` 有以下几种：
+    - `running`：表示 Server 正在运行。
+    - `dead`：表示 Server 已停止运行。
+    - `unknown`：表示目前无法正常访问 Studio 服务。
+
+只有在 `running` 状态的 Server 才会显示 CPU 和 Memory 的使用情况。用户可以点击 Servers 栏左边的刷新按钮来刷新 Servers 列表，同时也能够通过点击 Servers 栏右侧的删除按钮来一键删除所有已经处于 `dead` 状态的 Server。
+
+Servers 列表每行的最后一列都提供了删除按钮，用于关闭并删除 Server，需要注意的是该操作是无法恢复的，因此需要谨慎使用。
+
+#### Agents 列表
+
+在点击任意处于 `running` 状态的 Server 行后，会在页面中展开 Agents 列表，该列表中会显示该 Server 下所有 Agent，列表中会显示每个 Agent 的 `ID`, `Name`, `Class`, `System Prompt` 以及 `Model`。
+
+用户同样可以通过 Agents 列表栏左侧的刷新按钮来刷新 Agents 列表。并且用户也可以通过每个 Agent 行最右侧的删除按钮来删除该 Agent，并通过 Agents 列表栏右侧的删除按钮来批量删除 Server 中所有的 Agent。这里的删除操作都是不可恢复的，因此需要谨慎使用。
+
+#### Memory 列表
+
+在点击任意 Agent 行后，会在页面中展开 Memory 列表，该列表中会显示该 Agent 的 Memory 中的所有消息，每条消息会在左侧显示其 `Name` 和 `Role` 属性值，在点击后会在列表右侧显示该消息的具体内容。
+这里同样可以点击 Memory 列表栏左侧的刷新按钮来刷新当前的 Memory 列表。
