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.

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.

The code console prompt can now be positioned on the top, left, or right side of the console,
26
+
in addition to the default bottom placement. The placement is persisted in the Prompt Cell

32

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.
37
+
Additional settings for console behavior have been added:
38
+
- Clear Code Content on Execute (enabled by default) – When disabled, the code submitted for execution remains in the code editor, allowing for further edits.
39
+
- Hide Code Input – When enabled, only the execution output is shown in the console.
40
+
- Clear Cells on Execute – When enabled, only the last cell is displayed.

### Support for collaboration without `RTC:` drive
69
55
70
-
This is particularly useful on large displays, or for those who prefer working with a wider notebook.
56
+
Real time collaboration in previous versions of JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebook
57
+
(which can be enabled by installing jupyter-collaboration package)
58
+
was implemented by swapping the default JupyterLab file system
59
+
drive to a collaborative drive with the `RTC:` prefix.
60
+
This approach was incompatible with multiple extensions.
61
+
JupyterLab 4.4 introduces the Content Providers API, which allows the next version of `jupyter-collaboration` to work without changing the drive prefix.
62
+
This improves compatibility with extensions that do not support arbitrary drives.
71
63
72
-
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.
64
+
### Context menu opt-out
73
65
74
-
You can open JupyterLab by clicking on `View > Open JupyterLab`.
66
+
The context menu, available under right mouse click in browsers, can now be disabled globally
67

by toggling the `Enable Context Menu` option available in the Command Palette,
68
+
or via the JSON Settings Editor in the Application Context Menu.
