UnsavedVariables

UnsavedVariables

is an option for Manipulate, DynamicModule, and related functions that specifies local symbols that should not be saved when the notebook containing them is saved.

Details

  • The typical usage is UnsavedVariables:>{var1, var2,…}.
  • The DynamicModule containing the local variable var will save neither the ownvalue nor any other value associated with var.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Create a notebook with a regular DynamicModule expression:

Reading the notebook shows the value assigned to x in the DynamicModuleBox:

Create a second notebook, but with x listed as an unsaved variable:

Reading this notebook shows no value assigned to x:
