Can we use %run or any magic commands in a Delta Live Table pipeline?

When we try, it says magic commands are not supported. Is there a way to import other notebooks first so that its functions can be referenced/used while we build a DLT pipeline?

Thanks @Kaniz Fatmaโ€‹ 

As per the above article, %run is not supported for DLT

Do we have any alternate solution for this rather than combining my utils notebook and main notebook

perhaps you can refactor your utils notebook to python modules (so .py files)
