Step 3: Hack away!

Now you may work as much as you want on copy editing, but be aware (and beware) that you are on an ephemeral server and you might lose your work! If you plan to make considerable changes from your pod, commit and push often to save your work.

Take some time to skim Xie (2017) to get some ideas about what is possible in bookdown, and how the whole system works. Tour the RStudio IDE and see what helpful tools are available, like Help > Markdown Quick Reference.

Or you could just sprint to the finish line.

You’re ready for Step 4: Build Rmd into HTML!
