Parameterize

Generally, the first workflow step when using papermill is to parameterize the notebook.

To do this, you will tag notebook cells with parameters. These parameters are later used when the notebook is executed or run.

Designate parameters for a cell

To parameterize your notebook, designate a cell with the tag parameters.

How do parameters work

Papermill looks for the parameters cell and treats those values as defaults for the parameters passed in at execution time. It achieves this by inserting a cell after the tagged cell. If no cell is tagged with parameters a cell will be inserted to the front of the notebook.
