There's actually currently no way in the Sage notebook to delete a worksheet. You can move it to the trash, but there's no functionality for actually purging the trash. So it's very curious that this happened. Do the students have *any* hints at all about what they might have done to cause the behavior? I wonder if there are any hints in the worksheet files themselves? Sorry we haven't had any ideas yet, but in any case I think it's very helpful that you reported this, so that we can keep it in mind, and if anything similar comes up know that it isn't just an isolated incident. By the way, do your run the worksheet processes under a separate user from the sage notebook, e.g, use the server_pool option? If you don't on a public notebook server, maybe a student did something very nefarious that resulted in a deleted worksheet. > I looked in the notebook files and the > worksheets were still there, just not visible on the list of > worksheets.
