Fundamentals

Where do you go to get the address of a page to import? ie How do I get the "@name/page" info?

Seems like an "Copy Import Link" in the ellipses menu at top of page would be helpful.

this is out of date since we have pinning now. I am actually looking for documentation on pinning to show a user.... can't find it.

Thanks, Tom--revised paragraph to describe version locking and added link to notebook.

It’s probably worth noting that, now that the D3 examples are importable as functions, there’s no need to use import-with for this use case and that it’s preferable to import the Treemap function and pass the desired data and options. There are likely still some useful applications for import-with but it’s fairly niche.

apparently this feature does not exist (any more?), which is not a big problem because I can always turn a markdown cell into a JavaScript cell, use the md`markdown here` literal and name that expression
