Ease notebook reuse

Post author

Reusing a notebook could be made easier for new users.  To reuse the DEGenome tutorial [1], for example, it seems users must do one of the following:

Option A:

  • Do as described in "How to clone a workspace" [2], specifically "To clone from within the workspace (option 1)".
  • Within your new cloned workspace, click the "NOTEBOOKS" tab, then the "degenome-tutorial" link.

Option B:

  • Click on the 3 dots on the notebook and "Copy to another workspace"

Option A is complicated, and Option B requires a separate pre-existing workspace.

Could the user flow in Option B be enhanced to allow the user to "Create new workspace" as an option in the "Destination" menu shown in the modal?  Then no pre-existing workspace would be needed.

This screenshot shows the UX issue and summarizes the solution suggested above.
