About Checkpoint

#1

While working on the assignments, in the Jupyter notebook, there is an option “Save and Checkpoint”.

Pl clarify following queries;

  1. Where does the system save the file?
  2. What is meant by checkpoints?

Good question! Jupyter creates a checkpoint file every single time you create an .ipynb file, it then continues to update these checkpoint files every single time you manually save your progress for the initial .ipynb. Although autosaving does not update these checkpoints but the initial file you created. The checkpoint file is located within a hidden folder named .ipynb_checkpoints. This folder is located within the same folder as the initial .ipynb file.
