- The target of SourceLink for a particular cloud object is typically a notebook document that serves as the source for the content in the cloud object.
- With its default setting SourceLink->Automatic , CloudDeploy takes the source link for the deployed cloud object to be the cloud object corresponding to the current notebook, if this exists.

The deployed object view has a Source button in the upper right:
Deploy with a cloud notebook given as the source:
View the source link setting:
Deploy without a source link:
Confirm that there is no source link:

Deploy some sample source code to a private object:
Publish a simple message to the world:
Associate the message with its source link:
The Source button is not present for viewers:
In the case of a named source notebook, care must be taken when changing the name of the source notebook.
Associate a the source notebook to a named public object:
