Sharing your projects in the Community

[Elena_Kosourova]

Sharing your projects (whether guided or personal) in the Community can be helpful if:

• You’re having difficulty and you’d like to get help
• You’d like to share your project to get feedback from others

How to share your project

1. Use the Jupyter File menu to download your notebook as an ipynb file:
   

   

2. Start a new topic for your project by hitting the New Topic button in the Share/Projects subcategory of the Community:
   

   

• Note: if you want to share your guided project, click the corresponding link on the last screen of the guided project lesson and start a new topic. This will activate our auto-tagging system that will add the necessary tags to your topic making it easier for other learners who made the same guided project to find and review your work. In this case, however, don’t forget to click on the triangular selector and choose the Share/Projects subcategory instead of sharing your project directly in the Share category, as follows:
  
  

3. Upload the ipynb file as an attachment to your post in the Community:
   

   

4. Submit your post. Within a few minutes, our system will automatically edit your post with a preview link for the project:
   

   

Some important things to keep in mind

• To get the maximum number of eyeballs on your project, please upload only the ipynb file and not the tar file. Our platform auto-generates a link for the ipynb notebook that allows the viewer to preview the project in the browser itself without downloading it. This doesn’t happen for tar files.

• Add the link to the last screen of the guided project lesson in your post. This allows our platform to auto-generate some tags that are important to identify the course/lesson of the project and improve searchability.

Sharing your projects in the Community is a fantastic way to get feedback. And this topic can help you with it. To make the sharing experience better, we have a handy feature in our Community: Whenever you attach an ipynb (Jupyter notebook) file to a new post, our system automatically edits your post to add a link to view your project in a new tab. It’s handy as it will allow your peers to see your project without downloading the file. The only issue is that the preview link doesn’t change …
