Two notebook capabilities are actively being built and will land in a future release. They are listed here so you know what is coming; this article will be expanded with usage detail once the work ships.
Service Account Integration
A capability to link service accounts to notebook workspaces and runtimes — so notebooks can act under a configured service identity rather than the launching user, with credentials managed by the platform. Useful for automation, scheduled work that needs to outlive a user's session, and sharing scoped access without sharing personal credentials.
SQL Magic
A %%sql-style cell magic that lets you write SQL directly in a notebook cell against the platform's data registry, without the boilerplate of wrapping every query in spark.sql(...). The result will land as a DataFrame ready to inspect or pass into the next cell.
Both features are tracked separately. Watch the platform release notes for the version they ship in; this chapter will be updated when they do.
