Checkpoint curiosity

[David E.]

I curious to know if people get much functionality out of the checkpoints in Jupyter notebooks?  My understanding is that they store manually saved states, but not autosaves.  Can you really rollback things effectively?  Or can they serve as a functional traceback of how someone works if they only save manual selected states?  

They seem like they should be powerful, but I have to admit that just how they might be powerful eludes me!

Hello David,

on Data Science Experience, we call them "versions". When somebody shares a link to or schedules execution of a notebook, it's the last version/checkpoint that will be rendered or executed by default. Users can continue to edit and save their notebooks, that doesn't change what's shared or executed. Once they have completed the next round of work, they save a new version/checkpoint.

By default the Filesystem checkpointing only saves one version; we had quite a bit of complain of people wanted to open a notebook, try things and quit without modifications, with AutoSave this resulted in a lot of "lost work" hence the current  auto-saved enabled plus 1 checkoint in a hidden folder. Though as Roland pointed out you can ad plugins that extend the Checkpointing to multiple versions.

Cheers,
