Habits that save time#
- Use hyphenated names everywhere. They are easy to find in global search with the
ds:,viz:anddash:prefixes. - Add a description and tags in the Catalog to everything you share.
- Tick only the connections a job or notebook needs.
- Save in the editor, then publish. Publishing a dashboard does not save it first.
- Stop notebook and lakehouse sessions when you finish.
