6 months ago Yes, a notebook showing the complete workflow for deriving the preprocessed directories, with explicitly setting all data used during the process would be very helpful. This is often requested. Including links in this notebook to more advanced notebooks along the workflow could give a good overview, especially for new users.
Probably we would need two notebooks, one for elevation bands and one for centerlines as they differ quite a bit, as illustrated in the flowchart linked above. (to propose one more new notebook ;))
I am happy to help, as I have already some drafts for this lying around.

This issue is related to those posted on tutorials.
General comments Flag when you CAN’T use pre-processing directories and from which level you should start if you are introducing different input data (e.g. different DEM, Climate, outlines). I think this is obvious of us and is already written in the docs, but is often missed by new users! probably a big headline should be added here: https://docs.oggm.org/en/latest/shop.html#pre-processed-directories On that section we also need to link to a full workflow of how to reproduce the different levels and how to pick up from each level into the next...
@suther11LBU: I know we don’t really want to propose new tutorials but I do think one is needed for people who want to start from scratch and redo the pre-processing steps for their runs. There is a nice flowchart in the Glacier Flowlines page which was super helpful for me to understand the workflow but I think it might be a little lost for people who don’t trawl through documentation as much as I do.
