Protecting or hiding the code of a notebook

Hi, in Fabric is it possible to hide or encrypt or obfuscate the code inside a notebook in order to safeguard the intellectual property? Many thanks

Hi pmscorca,

Yes as an alternative approach, you can create a proprietary python custom library and call it from the notebook. This helps to reduce direct exposure of the core code since notebook users will only see the function calls rather than the underlying code.

Currently, fabric does not provide a built in feature to hide or encrypt notebook code from the users who have access to the notebook.

Your submitted idea is valuable feedback for improving IP protection capabilities in fabric notebooks.

Thanks and regards,
