## 7.3
## 7.4
Jupyter Notebook 7.3 is based on JupyterLab 4.3, and includes a number of new features, bug fixes, and enhancements for extension developers. This release is compatible with extensions supporting JupyterLab 4.0. Extension authors are recommended to consult the [Extension Migration Guide](https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extension/extension_migration.html#jupyterlab-4-2-to-4-3) which lists deprecations and changes to the public API.
Jupyter Notebook 7.4 is based on JupyterLab 4.4, and includes a number of new features, bug fixes, and enhancements for extension developers. This release is compatible with extensions supporting JupyterLab 4.0. Extension authors are recommended to consult the [Extension Migration Guide](https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extension/extension_migration.html#jupyterlab-4-3-to-4-4) which lists deprecations and changes to the public API.
Below are a few highlights for this new release. Most of the new features and improvements come from the update to JupyterLab 4.3, although they may not all be supported in Notebook 7.3.

### Minimap
### Code console improvements
The virtual scrollbar now acts as a minimap and exposes information on whether a cell:
The code console prompt can now be positioned on the top, left, or right side of the console,
in addition to the default bottom placement. The placement is persisted in the Prompt Cell
Position setting.
- is running/scheduled (`[*]`), idle (`[ ]`) or was already run (e.g. `[1]`)
- was modified since it was last executed (“dirty”) - orange background
- has an output that contains an error - red background
- is markdown/code (`[ ]`/`[*]`/`[1]` for code, nothing for markdown)
- how much text/code it contains
The console toolbar now includes buttons to:
- Execute code
- Restart the kernel
- Clear the cells
- Switch the kernel

To enable the minimap, click on the hamburger icon (≡) which appears in the notebook’s toolbar. If you do not see the hamburger icon, go to `Settings → Notebook → Windowing mode` and choose “full”.
Additional settings for console behavior have been added:
- Clear Code Content on Execute (enabled by default) – When disabled, the code submitted for execution remains in the code editor, allowing for further edits.
- Hide Code Input – When enabled, only the execution output is shown in the console.
- Clear Cells on Execute – When enabled, only the last cell is displayed.
### File browser enhancements
Toggling all the three new settings transforms the console into an interactive editor
resembling an ephemeral notebook with a single cell.
The file browser now:

- supports resizing the columns and remembers the column sizes after reloading JupyterLab
- supports uploading folders by drag-and-drop
- supports navigation with a single click
- adds a file filter collapsed by default (funnel icon)
### Settings import and export
![a screenshot showing that it's now possible to resize the file browser columns](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b0d9cd0a-2828-43f7-a922-e8b271e5f7fc)
Settings can now be exported to `overrides.json` from the Settings Editor,
which can be used to pre-configure defaults in deployments or to restore settings.
In Jupyter Notebook, the single click navigation is enabled by default. If you would like to disable it to get the same experience as in JupyterLab, go to `Settings → File Browser` and make sure "Navigate files and directories with single click" is unchecked.

### Improved kernel and server interactions
### Support for collaboration without `RTC:` drive
The previous release enabled connecting to external kernels, such as those spawned by a third-party application like Blender. In this release the kernel selector dialog was improved to also show the external kernels.
Real time collaboration in previous versions of JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebook
(which can be enabled by installing jupyter-collaboration package)
was implemented by swapping the default JupyterLab file system
drive to a collaborative drive with the `RTC:` prefix.
This approach was incompatible with multiple extensions.
JupyterLab 4.4 introduces the Content Providers API, which allows the next version of `jupyter-collaboration` to work without changing the drive prefix.
This improves compatibility with extensions that do not support arbitrary drives.
The previous release improved the awareness of the kernel/kernel specification distinction by providing both tree and list view in the kernels sidebar panel, but only the tree view featured the kernel identifiers. In this release both the list and tree view show the kernel identifier stub.
### Context menu opt-out
A new toolbar button was added in the kernel allowing to shut down unused kernels (kernels with no widget attached).
![a screenshot showing the list view of the kernels in the sidebar](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c7f958c5-4054-4b09-8fad-4df6db8c9b58)
### Full Width Notebook
It is now possible to configure the notebook to take up the full width of the page via:
- a setting that can be defined by a user via the Settings Editor
- the `View > Enable Full Width Notebook` menu entry
- the command palette, searching for `Enable Full Width Notebook`
![a screenshot showing how to enable full width notebook via the menu](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/148b227a-874a-4bb3-a4c6-c7350525ccc4)
This is particularly useful on large displays, or for those who prefer working with a wider notebook.
It is also possible to use the JupyterLab interface for a more fully-featured experience, which allows for full-width notebooks too, and offers a "Simple Interface" mode for only showing a single notebook at a time.
You can open JupyterLab by clicking on `View > Open JupyterLab`.
The context menu, available under right mouse click in browsers, can now be disabled globally
by toggling the `Enable Context Menu` option available in the Command Palette,
or via the JSON Settings Editor in the Application Context Menu.
