Hi

I’ve just noticed that `view_anndata_setup()` is marked as deprecated for removal in `v0.15.0`. I’ve had a look through the docs but I couldn’t find an obvious replacement. Is there a new way to get this output or is the functionality just being removed?

Thanks

We are in progress with some major backend changes with anndata. Anndata registration will be closer to 1-1 with a model, so it doesn’t make sense to have a global function for this. I anticipate we will have a new method attached to each model to give a fundamentally similar view into the data registration.

Cool, that makes sense. I guess I’ll just keep using the existing function until the changes are done. Thanks!
