SourceLink

SourceLink

is an option for CloudObject and related cloud functions that specifies the source of the content given.

Details

  • Possible settings include:
  • CloudObject[]take the specified cloud object as the source
    Automaticset the source from the current value of $SourceLink
    Nonenever give source
  • The target of SourceLink for a particular cloud object is typically a notebook document that serves as the source for the content in the cloud object.
  • With its default setting SourceLink->Automatic, CloudDeploy takes the source link for the deployed cloud object to be the cloud object corresponding to the current notebook, if this exists.

Publish a simple message to the world:

Associate the message with its source link:

The Source button is not present for viewers:

In the case of a named source notebook, care must be taken when changing the name of the source notebook.

Associate a the source notebook to a named public object:
