Github user 1ambda commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/2374 @khalidhuseynov Thanks for the update. 1. Could you describe the reason why we need to have separated setting tabs? I mean, what note persistence setting should be under `Global Settings`  2. Could you describe what the option `Persist notes on run and checkpoint` means?  - a note is persisted when the note was executed **and** (**or**?) user committed it - https://github.com/khalidhuseynov/zeppelin/blob/e3636b44a421562bef7d225b8d58f1fee6746658/zeppelin-zengine/src/main/java/org/apache/zeppelin/notebook/repo/NotebookRepoSync.java#L31
