Submission Checklist: Sharing Your Work

Sep 25, 2026

Four steps to get your to me: write the .qmd in Positron, render it, drop the rendered .html in your SAMBA folder, and confirm it opens cleanly with formatting and figures intact.

1. Write and render in Positron

• Write your .qmd file in Positron, with all code chunks that produce the output you want to submit
• Click Render (or run quarto render yourfile.qmd) and let it finish without errors
• Confirm a new .html file with the same name appeared next to your .qmd file
• Open that .html file yourself first — if a chunk errored or a figure didn’t generate, fix it and re-render before moving on

2. Move it to the SAMBA folder

• Open/mount your SAMBA folder (connect to it if it isn’t already mounted)
• Copy the rendered .html file into your SAMBA folder — not the .qmd source file
• If your .qmd produced a companion folder of images/assets (something like yourfile_files/), copy that folder in too, alongside the .html — without it, figures won’t display
• Use a clear, consistent filename (e.g. your name or assignment name) so I can tell whose work it is

Tip: add embed-resources: true under format: html: in your .qmd’s YAML header before rendering. That bundles everything into one self-contained .html, so there’s no separate folder to remember to copy.

3. Double-check before you’re done

• Open the .html file straight from the SAMBA folder (not your local copy) to confirm it looks right from where I’ll actually read it
• All formatting shows correctly — headings, text, tables render as expected, nothing shows as raw code or broken markup
• Every figure/plot you made actually appears in the file, not just a broken image icon
• No visible errors, warnings, or Error in ... messages left in the output
• The file opens on its own, without needing your .qmd file or local project folder open at the same time
