In this paper, we study the entanglement contour in a general excited state
in the holographic 2d CFT using the partial entanglement entropy proposal. We
show how thermodynamics fixes the entanglement contour relating it to the first
law of entanglement. We derive the entanglement contour for a general
time-dependent excited state and consider a quenched initial state in the
presence of spatial boundaries as an explicit example. Finally, we comment on
the coarse-graining and the complexity contour in the $AdS_3/CFT_2$.
