When I try saving the notebook, forbidden error gets displayed.
see attached screenshot
you don’t need to save notebook this way, it gets autosaved
But clicking the “Save” button still should work. I use that all the time. In some of the courses, clicking “Submit” to the grader does not do an autosave. I don’t know whether “Autosave” happens in the NLP courses or not, but you should still be able to do your own save.
Have you had this problem in other courses? Is there anything different about the environment in which you are executing this notebook from previous times where this worked? E.g. different computer, different network, different browser? It could be A/V software on your computer or firewalls or proxy servers on your local network blocking the operation. Other than that, I’m not sure what else could cause this.
probably check if your browser settings is not allowing this saving option.
Can you change the browser and open the notebook and check if you were able to save?
I have tried all the browsers and i am getting an error that says “Autosave failed”. There is this forbidden error that keeps popping up and throwing this error.
“UPDATE Read the migration plan to Notebook 7 to learn about the new features and the actions to take if you are using extensions - Please note that updating to Notebook 7 might break some of your extensions.”
This is listed at the top and autosave, save fails in chrome, chrome incognito, mozilla and safari. Is this from the server end?
If our theory is correct that this is some kind of permissions problem, it could be anywhere in the chain between your browser and the website. It could be A/V software on your computer or it could be a firewall or proxy server on your local area network or it could be a firewall at your ISP. So my suggestion would be to “walk” your way outwards from the browser according to that list I just gave:
First try a different computer or maybe a tablet.
If that still fails, then try a different network. If you are doing all your work from your home or your school or your job, take your laptop or tablet to a coffee shop with WiFi or a public place that has WiFi and try from there.
If that still fails, try using a VPN to connect to Coursera.
My theory is that you have an IT problem. It’s pretty hard for us to solve your IT problems for you, because we can’t be in exactly the situation you are in. If you’re having this problem and are using a network at your job or school, maybe there is an IT department where you could get more help with this. There are also tools for tracking the route that your connections take and testing them, but it’s been a while since I tried using those.
I don’t think the “migration plan to Notebook 7” message is involved in this. I’ve been seeing that banner message for months now.
I agree with this assessment.
After using a different laptop with endpoint protection disabled, was able to complete the course, not sure what the cause is, will try to figure that part out.

It’s great news that you were able to complete the course. So now you just need to figure out how the security config is different between the two computers.
Nithya were you using any company provided system or work laptop?? to do the course
