Silly question-Easy way to show full notebook path or owner in UI?

Kayla
Valued Contributor

We have a few people working in Databricks right now in different clones of the same repository. Occasionally we'll have multiple people with the same branch open- one working, another just has it open to see what it looks like, sort of deal.

This has led to a couple minor issues where links have been shared and people have then started working in the wrong location by mistake. Is there any easy way to see the top level folder names- such as the user folder, then the repo folder- without having to dig into the Workspace pane?

hi @Kayla ,

I think the easiest way to check the current notebook location when opened is just hover the mouse cursor over the name of the notebook (top left, "ADE 3.1 - Streaming Deduplication" in this case) and wait for about 1-2 seconds; after that, the path to the notebook will be displayed as shown below:

Hi @Kayla ,

I don't know if that's what you looking for, but for sure full path and owner information are available:

I'm already in a notebook- easy enough to get to that sort of information, if you remember to look for it.
Harder if you just tab in and assume you're in the right place and don't go searching.
