I see that IPython Notebook has a menu item: File > Revert to Checkpoint
, but this never contains more than a single entry for any of my notebooks.
Is there a way to allow this menu to hold multiple checkpoints? I can't find documentation about how to do this anywhere on the web. Thanks.
Also, I put in the green box as a highlight.
By default, Jupyter will autosave your notebook every 120 seconds to this checkpoint file without altering your primary notebook file. When you “Save and Checkpoint,” both the notebook and checkpoint files are updated. Hence, the checkpoint enables you to recover your unsaved work in the event of an unexpected issue.
As a side note, the checkpoint file is located within a hidden folder named . ipynb_checkpoints . This folder is located within the same folder as the initial . ipynb file.
Jupyter will save checkpoints of your notebook from time to time, and if you realize you need to revert your whole file back to an earlier version, you can do that with the “Revert to Checkpoint” button.
Bookstore (post on rackspace) is the only storage backend that supports multiple checkpoints for now. We hope that someone will write a git backend at some point. It will just not come from the core team soon.
If you are motivated to do so, we'll be happy to give you pointers.
