how to import sample notebook to azure databricks workspace

[frunzy]

In the second onboarding video, the Quickstart Notebook is shown. I found that notebook here:

https://www.databricks.com/notebooks/gcp-qs-notebook.html

I wanted to import it to my workspace in Azure Databricks account, to play with it. However, selecting home/import/URL results in the following message: "importing from Databricks is currently disallowed."

What am I doing wrong and how to proceed?

(I tried to download the notebook to the local pc as .htm file and then import as file - this way the import works, but then notebook shows in azure interface as html code which is not being recognized as notebook, so it is not usable either.)

Hi @frunzy ,

You're right. It seems that functionality to import notebook from URL is broken. As a workaround you can save this html page and import it as a file. I'll give you an example for Edge browser but you can replicate the same kind of steps in any other web browser:

1. Go to https://www.databricks.com/notebooks/gcp-qs-notebook.html

2. Click CTRL+S to save page as html

3. Now drag your downloaded html notebook and drop file to upload:

4. And voila - you have that notebook in your workspace
