Warnings

  1. The JupyterLab environment comes with an array of commonly used packages. You may install additional packages not included in the default instance. These libraries will not be saved after the instance is closed, so you will either have to reinstall or put in a request to support@formbio.com to add these packages to the default instance.
  2. Any data imported or generated will not be saved from instance to instance. It is important that the user saves any data and the notebook file to a folder in the file system.
