Request for Access to Notebooks from Databricks Community Edition After Migration

gpzz — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 13:19:43 GMT

Hello Databricks Community Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I have been a long-time user of the Databricks Community Edition and have actively used it over the years to build and maintain several notebooks for learning and experimentation.

Recently, I understand that Databricks has migrated the legacy Community Edition to the new Free Edition. Since this migration, I have not been able to access the legacy Community Edition, and unfortunately, I can no longer see or access the notebooks that I had previously created.

These notebooks are important to me, as they contain significant work and learning artifacts accumulated over a long period of time. I was not aware that access to the legacy environment or its notebooks would be discontinued or restricted as part of this migration.

I kindly request your support to help me:

Regain access to my notebooks from the legacy Community Edition, or
Restore or migrate my existing notebooks to the new Free Edition, if possible.

Sorry to hear about this, @gpzz. Unfortunately, the legacy Community Edition has already been retired, and access to Community Edition accounts is no longer available.

Hi @Advika , Do we any have any utility to migrate to notebooks from Community edition to free edition.
