 * Using current versions of JetPack and Autoptimize
 * These scripts are added by Jetpack:
 *     ```
       <script type='text/javascript' src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/notes/notes-common-v2.js?ver=4.3.2-201648'></script>
       <script type='text/javascript' src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/notes/admin-bar-v2.js?ver=4.3.2-201648'></script>
       ```
   
 * When logged in only, I see these errors in Chrome dev. console.
 *     ```
       Uncaught ReferenceError: Backbone is not defined
           at http://s1.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/notes/notes-common-v2.js?ver=4.4.1-201648:32:44

       Uncaught ReferenceError: _ is not defined
           at http://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/notes/admin-bar-v2.js?ver=4.4.1-201648:2:51
       ```
   
 * When I turn Autoptimize off using `?ao_noptimize=1`
 * There are no errors.
 * How do I tell Autoptimize to leave these two scripts as is? I see what to do 
   for scripts on our server, but not external ones such as shown here.

 * excluding those scripts won’t work as they are auto-excluded [@swansonphotos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swansonphotos/),
   you’ll have to exclude the scripts the errors are referring to; backbone and _(
   underscore).
 * now what I don’t understand; your title says “admin dashboard errors”, but autoptimize
   is not active on /wp-admin/ urls? or are you referring to the adminbar for logged
   in users on the frontend?

 * They occur for logged in admin with admin bar showing.
 * They do not occur when not logged in.
 * When Autoptimize is not active, they do not occur at any time.

 * ok, two possibilities to fix:
    * find out which js to exclude (cfr. backbone &
   underscore) with some trial and error (cfr. troubleshooting tips in [the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq/))*
   disable AO for logged in users by hooking into the API as shown in [the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq/)
   in the paragraph about visual composer/ beaver builder. you could even add logic
   in there to only exclude for admin-users if you have non-admins logging in as
   well.
 * hope this helps,
    frank
