RStudio pre-installed packages
I'm wondering it there's any possibility that the tidyverse will be be added as pre-installed packages in RStudio. The ecosystem is broadly used, and waiting for all of it to download and install, after waiting for RStudio to spin up in the first place, gets a little old. Is there any information about how packages are chosen for inclusion? Or a place to suggest this? Thanks!

It is possible to create an R workspace https://dnanexus.gitbook.io/uk-biobank-rap/working-on-the-research-analysis-platform/using-rstudio-on-the-research-analysis-platform#saving-local-data-to-the-project
Thank you!
For anyone else who might have the same question, here are the explicit steps:
I installed all of the packages I normally use, created a .Backups folder in my DNAnexus project folder (which is called “myfoldername” here, underneath a project), then ran this code in the Rstudio terminal:
dx-backup-folder -d myfoldername/.Backups/mypackages.tar.gz
The next time I needed to use Rstudio, I ran this in the terminal first:
dx-restore-folder myfoldername/.Backups/mypackages.tar.gz
Worked like a charm. I didn't realize workspaces could include installed packages, I thought it was just objects created during analysis.
