Hello! I remember that at some point it was possible to execute publicly available collabs without being able to save. In the current version I am not able to execute public collabs any more, but have to copy them to one of my collabs first, thereby loosing potentially related files in the storage as these are not copied.
Is it possible to make public jupyter notebooks executable again?
Thanks!

Hello,
I am not sure when it was possible to run public notebooks, but for the last 1,5 years it has been like you describe it. Currently if you are not a member of the public collab the notebook is opened with something called nbviewer that displays a notebook including their saved output.
The problem with allowing running public notebooks is that it would require full editing (including saving) to do so: there is no hand-picking functionality when opening a notebook with the editor. It would require some major changes to conditionally disable the save functionality, which is not something to we plan to do in the foreseeable future.
Kind regards
Akos
