How to save changes in read-only Jupyter Notebook

Question

I have opened a python Jupyter notebook but did not notice that it was in read-only, Not Trusted mode. How to save my changes now?

Things that I have tried and did not help:

• File -> Make a Copy
• File -> Save and Checkpoint
• File -> Download as
• File -> Trust Notebook

Answer 1

One hack around this issue:

1. Select all cells (or cells that you need) in your read-only notebook. You can select all cells by clicking on the first cell and then shift+clicking the last cell.
2. Copy all cells using CTRL+C (COMMAND+C if you are using MAC)
3. Create a new jupyter notebook page
4. Click CTRL+V (COMMAND+V if you are using MAC) twice
5. Save your new notebook

Hope this hack helps
