# Patch Notebook Cell

`POST /notebook/cell`

Apply a user cell-content edit to draft + live notebook state.

Synchronous HTTP equivalent of the ``notebook_cell_user_edit``
socket event. Used by the frontend to flush a pending edit before
invoking ``/execute`` so cell-id execution sees the user's latest
content. A missed patch is a failed precondition for execution because
continuing would run stale backend state.

## Request body

  - `notebook_id` string, required

  - `cell_id` string, required
  - `content` string, required
