Export Jupyter notebooks

You can export your Jupyter notebooks in a way that keeps the code intact, but scrubs the outputs in conformance with privacy rules.

An exported notebook indicates inline where content has been removed.

In general, we filter out:

• Cell outputs (except for images), including html, stdout, and stderr
• Raw cell data

We do not filter out:

• Markdown
• Images
• Code

The resulting notebook is fully functional in terms of the code. The recipient of the notebook can run all the code and obtain their own results, assuming they have legal access to the data and the required permissions. This also means that a "scrubbed" notebook can be submitted for publication as part of your research.

Steps to complete an export

In your Jupyter environment, follow these steps to export a Jupyter notebook. Differences in the process if you are using WorkSpaces Secure Browser are noted.

Step 1: Select the notebook

From the left navigation window in your Jupyter environment, right-click the name of the notebook you want to export and select Export Notebook.

A dialog box will display, indicating the email address to which the download link for the notebook is being sent.

Step 2: Go to your email

Open the email and click the download link to begin the export.

Step 3: Go to your downloads folder

When the export completes, locate the exported notebook in your downloads folder. The notebook has the same name as the original, with "-scrubbed" appended to it.

Step 4: Open the file

Open the file in your local environment to view it.
