Sharing
Publish a read-only link to a notebook so anyone can view it, fork it, or open it elsewhere.
When you want to put a notebook in front of someone, you can publish a share link: a read-only view that anyone can open in their browser, no account needed.
What a share shows
A shared notebook shows the cells, the branch structure, and the saved output (tables, charts, all of it), along with a title and description you set. The viewer can read it but can't change it. Output is saved with the notebook, so a share is a faithful snapshot of what you saw, not just the code.
What a viewer can do
From a shared notebook, a viewer can:
- Fork it to their own workspace and take your notebook as a starting point for their own work (with an account).
- Open it elsewhere by downloading the
.ipynbor opening it in Colab. - Deploy it out to GitHub, Hugging Face, or Kaggle.
- Build their own, a prompt for people who don't have an account yet.
You create, update, and revoke share links from the project. Revoking a link turns it off, and anyone holding the old URL loses access.
Sharing vs. publishing
A share link is a quick read-only view hosted by Clusy. Publishing is different. It pushes your notebook (and the models or datasets with it) onto Hugging Face or Kaggle under your account there.
