test sharing research notebook to see what happens
How do you like the full nb viewer? Our hypothesis was that there would be a cell, usually an image, that was your summary. So, you embed that one cell, and we link you to the full nb.

Now that I know how it works, it seems fine. Makes sense to display a single cell in the forum, but then have access to the whole notebook with another click.
I do think it would be beneficial to include the cell numbers (e.g. "I'm having a problem with cell 37..."). Also, is there no notebook cloning at this point? Additionally, is there a unique identifier for a posted notebook (e.g. a checksum)? It would be nice to have some sort of versioning/referencing system.
When a notebook is viewed, it pops up in a separate window, covering the entire screen. This is nice for readability, but what if I want to examine code in the notebook, and comment on it in the forum? I can't see the forum, and I would need to close the notebook to write my comment. It'd be great if I could re-size the notebook and move the notebook on my desktop, and be able to add comments in the forum while viewing and scrolling through the notebook. As it is, the notebook just pops up and takes over.
Also, you might consider adding the capability to add comments directly to the notebook. For example, say I have suggestion for improving the code in a given cell. Rather than copying the cell to the forum editor, it would be better just to add my comment to the posted notebook (e.g. "You could consider using a Pandas DataFrame instead of a dictionary."). I just figure there should be something more lightweight than clone the notebook, add comments, and then post to the forum, with the edited notebook attached.
@Femto - there isn't a way to clone a notebook right now. We are working to add it in the near future. The one question I have on notebook cloning is how we should deal with secondary data sources? Sometimes you have data you can share with the notebook (like my female CEOs notebook) and sometimes you don't (like the Estimize notebook). Should this be at the discretion of the notebook creator, and an option when you choose to share a notebook? Or is there a different way to handle it that makes more sense?
@Grant you are totally right on the cell numbers. I hadn't even noticed they were missing. But it does make it difficult to discuss. I also like your idea on commenting on the notebook. We've discussed something similar to Medium comments, but haven't made any decisions.
Expect to see a lot of improvements to sharing in the coming weeks. To be completely frank we pushed something quick out, so we could start sharing notebooks and getting feedback. It still needs work to optimize the sharing and discussion process.

About accessing data, some login / password data could be inside notebook to access these data. Maybe they should be outside of notebook. This raises the question of managing multiple files (personal import) inside a notebook
Wait, where are the instructions to share a notebook? I don't see a button on the notebook or the post to do so. Can I share a notebook in a response to a community post? Thx
When you're working in a notebook, on the right side of every cell is a "share" button. This will allow you to share the entire notebook in the forums, and the cell you share is highlighted in the forum.
You can't yet share a notebook in a response, we're working to add that feature.
