Just an hour back I made a huge mistake by sharing my notebook privately outside my team. I wanted to share this code with my teammate and ended up sharing it with some other account with the same name. On realizing this mistake I rectified it immediately. Further I checked the account with which I shared the code, luckily it seems to be a dormant account with no activity on Kaggle for more than a year.
\nI recently started competing on Kaggle and this is my first competition in which I have teamed up with my colleague from work. I am really worried about being disqualified from the competition due to this mistake. What should I do?
\n@juliaelliott could you please help..
