Sharing a workbook

DataLab supports real-time collaboration in notebooks (think Google Docs but for data science) and sharing your workbooks with different access rights.

To share a workbook, click the 'Share' button in the nav bar.

Workbook sharing modal

In this modal, you can:

• Invite specific people to your workbook by using their email

  • The collaborators you add will receive an email with the link to the workbook.

  • Today, you can only invite users that already have a DataCamp account.

  • Your workbook will show up on the dashboard of collaborators you add.

• Change the workbook visibility

  • Public: the workbook is open to the community. Others can find, view and comment on your workbook.

  • Private: only you and the people you invite have access to the workbook.

• Group workbooks are private by definition, but you can give access to all members in the group that this workspace is part of (see#personal-and-group-workspaces for more info on group workbooks)

Roles

You can give different people (or groups of people) different roles:

• Viewer - Can read the workbook contents, but cannot make edits, leave comments, execute code or manage sharing settings.

• Editor - Can read, edit, and execute workspace contents. Can rename, share and publish the workspace.

• Owner (only the project creator) - Can do everything the editor can do, but can also delete the workspace.
