| The Positron Notebook Editor controls what metadata is saved to the notebook file. This makes notebooks more version-control-friendly. By default, cell outputs are saved but execution counts are not. You can adjust this behavior with the [`notebook.save.outputs`](positron://settings/notebook.save.outputs) and [`notebook.save.executionCounts`](positron://settings/notebook.save.executionCounts) settings. | ||

| For cleaner diffs, you can convert a Jupyter notebook to a Quarto notebook (`.qmd`) by running the _Quarto: Convert to Quarto Document_ command from the Command Palette. Quarto notebooks store code and markdown as plain text, making them easier to review in pull requests. For more information on Quarto convert see [the Quarto documentation](https://quarto.org/docs/cli/convert.html). |

Reflect the notebook editor's maturity change, add version control and ghost cell suggestions sections, document all notebook settings, and apply style guide fixes (contractions, callout types, headings). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Remove bold from pane names (Connections, Variables, Help), remove Quarto convert language that is not shipping, and link to the Saving settings subsection instead of listing individual settings inline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
