Chatting with a notebook

Help

Hi there,

I did try out the new notebook for the first time and I really love it!

I have the following questions:
I started a chat and created a hyperbolic viewer notebook just by throwing out some basic prompts:

After I published it as my first new notebook it’s nowhere near done.
I would like to proceed from this notebook and invoke the chat to further improve based on it.
Q1: How do I start a chat with an existing notebook? (Or can I just chat with a fresh context?)
Q2: Where Do I see my versions I have have more?

Thanks - I am really excited to go this direction!

Here is my current understanding after reading the docs:

Q1: The Chat Option is a “chat-first” interface to start off with an empty notebook and prototype and idea.
When a notebook is published, it is not possible to go to the “chat-first” interface, instead you choose the AI agent on the bottom right. I guess it does the same except it is not the chat-first" UI any more.

Q2: As per: https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/notebooks-user-guide versions will be shown at a later stage. They are not accessible as of now.

That sounds right to me @EE2dev! Thanks for trying it out, for reading the docs, and for the feedback. We’re planning on giving the agent a tool to search notebooks (with approval) which should also make it possible to start a new chat that references existing notebooks.
