Importing notebooks into the Platform

This tutorial will explain how to import notebooks on the platform.

Importing Zeppelin notebooks

To import a notebook into the platform, simply navigate to the Notebooks tab.

Once in this menu, use the Notebook import button, where you can select the desired file from the file system according to the formats the version supports.

Importing Jupyter or external Zeppelin notebooks

FROM VERSION 1.4.0

From this version, you can import Jupyter Notebooks (.ipynb format) in the same way. They are converted to .json format, which Zeppelin supports. The import is independent of the interpreter used in the notebook.

An example of importing a Jupyter notebook is shown:

When importing external notebooks to the platform from Jupyter or an external Zeppellin, files with the correct text encoding (UTF-8) must be imported. This especially affects accent marks and special characters.

Below is an example of coding a notebook correctly with Notepad++ (any other text editor can be used).

First, create a notebook (in this example, from Jupyter) with accent marks.

Open the file with Notepad ++ to specify the correct encoding (UTF-8).

First notice that the file is in UTF-8 but the characters are from ANSI:

Change the encoding, convert the file to UTF-8 and save the file. You will see how the characters with accent marks change to their equivalences in UTF-8 when the correct format is established.

Import the notebook into platform and see the result.

If the file with correct coding is not entered, the result will be like:
