Sharing Notebooks
Publish a public notebook page with your code and outputs—perfect for transparency and reproducibility.
Notebooks are private by default. When you share a notebook, Margin publishes a public page that shows your notebook’s code + rendered outputs.
Making a Notebook Public
- Open the notebook you want to share
- Click Share in the notebook toolbar
- Toggle Public on
- Choose a URL slug (e.g.,
q4-forecasting-notes) - Copy and share the link
Your notebook is now live at:
marginfordata.com/@username/notebooks/your-slug
What Viewers See
Public notebooks are designed for transparency:
| Visible | Hidden |
|---|---|
| ✅ Code cells | ❌ Other private notebooks |
| ✅ Rendered outputs (charts, tables, images) | ❌ Workspace settings |
| ✅ Markdown cells | ❌ Private datasets (unless you share them separately) |
Best Uses
- Behind a brief – Share the full work for technical readers
- Reproducibility – Pair a public notebook with a public dataset (Pro)
- Team handoff – Share implementation details without inviting someone into your workspace
Revoking Access
To make a notebook private again:
- Open the notebook
- Click Share
- Toggle Public off
- Save
The public URL stops working immediately. Anyone with the link will see a 404.
Next Steps
