How would I export the latest revision of a notebook?

I've been trying to export some notebooks from my Databricks workspace to my laptop. I can't use Git Repos because the company restricted access to external services from the control plane.

However it looks to me that I always exported the previous revision of a notebook after I made some changes to it, not the latest one. I had to explicitly commit (or "Save") the changes so that they become the "previous" revision before I could see them in the exported file.

I'm not sure if I did anything wrong here or is it the design of how notebooks revision work?

Please ignore my newbie question. I've figured it out. I forgot to use the `--overwrite` flag when I ran the export command.

Too bad you are not allowed to use Repos, can be a life saver.

Can you check your answer as best answer so the question is marked as solved?
