  1. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
  2. ================================
  3. Below are some frequently asked questions. Click on a question to be directed to
  4. relevant information in our documentation or our GitHub repo.
  5. General

  7. - :ref:`What is JupyterLab? <overview>`
  8. - :ref:`Is JupyterLab ready to use? <releases>`
  9. - :ref:`What will happen to the classic Jupyter Notebook? <releases>`
  10. - `Where is the official online documentation for
  11. JupyterLab? <https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`__
  12. Development
  13. -----------
  14. - `How can you report a bug or provide
  15. feedback? <https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues>`__
  16. - `How can you
  17. contribute? <https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md>`__
  18. - :ref:`How can you extend or customize JupyterLab? <user_extensions>`
  19. - In the classic Notebook, `I could use custom Javascript outputed by a cell to programatically
  20. control the Notebook <https://stackoverflow.com/a/32769976/907060>`__. Can I do the same thing in JupyterLab?
  21. We intentially do not support this workflow. Instead, we reccomend you display a new mimetype and define a
  22. custom renderer for that in a JupyterLab extension. This makes sure the output is not tied directly to JupyterLab
  23. so that another frontend could still render it. Also, if the JupyterLab API changes then
  24. this change can be supported in your extension and the existing notebooks will still work without changing their
  25. outputs. If you have comments or suggestions on changes here, we have `an issue <https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/4623>`__
  26. to discuss this decision.
  27. Tips and Tricks
  28. ---------------
  29. - How do I start JupyterLab with a clean workspace every time?
  30. Add `'c.NotebookApp.default_url = '/lab?reset'` to your `jupyter_notebook_config.py`. See [How to create a jupyter_notebook_config.py](https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config.html) for more information.
