Hi, @smpa01

Currently there are two methods to recover deleted notebooks, you can choose to use according to your situation.

Approach 1: User-managed redundancy with Git integration (in public preview)
Approach 2: Manual approach to backing up code content

I've explicitly turned source control / DevOps integration specifically to protect against this.
Even if we're not using proper branching* yet, just the guard rail of having code backed up is great - also means I can get people into the habit of committing often.
* Yes, I know we're ignoring the directive of "Friends don't let friends commit to main"

Git/DevOps is your only friend AFAIK.

What irritates me is that it is so much easier to work with databricks notebook from vs code databricks extension->develop locally, post in cluster, execute in cluster, commit in git, all from VS CODE locally. it is just a beautful one stop shop.

But the Fabric Synapse extension is not so user friendly. It has so many pre-req unlike databricks extension that I could not simply get to the bottom of it and make it work from local VS code which offcourse forces me to go to the web notebook and devaite from VS Code and github altogether.

I wish the Fabric Synapse extension was as easy as databricks extension.
