# Fork a Notebook

## Fork your Notebook

Forking is a great way to make a copy of your Notebook; to save a version of it that you may want to go back to in case you expect to make major changes. Forking a notebook creates a new history for your notebook. The files copied to your notebook are those listed in your [notebook include file](https://github.com/Paperspace/Docs/tree/9f5869e1aef4b75067075530e65c9764279782bf/notebook-include.md). This can copy notebooks, including public notebooks, into a team.
