I installed jupyter notebook through anaconda in my new computer and i noticed that everytime i open jupyter it open with it Anaconda Toolbox which take space and it messes with the layout and i have to manually close it everytime i open a new jupyter instance.
when i uninstall Anaconda toolbox from anaconda Navigator theside bar dissapear which it’s good but at the same i’ll loose all access to the build environnement that i create it in Anaconda.
I didn’t find a way to disable this side bar without uninstalling Anaconda toolbox.
In my old computer i had anaconda and jupyter installed but i didn’t have Anaconda toolbox, i think they introduce it in newer version.
I think it should be possible to disable that extension via Extension Manager or via CLI using jupyter labextension disable. I would defer to @RRosio or @danyeaw for details.
Hey @Tizana, you should be able to uninstall the Anaconda Toolbox from JupyterLab (easiest way is via Navigator) and not lose any of the environments that you’ve created, as behind the scenes all it’s doing is creating a conda environment for you.
Wonder if there’s something you could do with saving a JupyterLab Workspace that would save the setup of JupyterLab you like, without having to completely removing the Toolbox, in case you need it.
You are right it’s a new feature, I’ll check in with the team to see if there’s something we can do to make it less intrusive. But please let us know if there’s anything else in there we can improve to stop you wanting to uninstall
