Not sure what happened, but `Export Notebook As` has diseappeared from the File menu in my jupyter-lab installation. This is a conda installation, and I have done recent updates. I’m not sure how to either troubleshoot or restore the item.

Same for me. This is my base environment and I haven’t updated any jupyter related packages in a while. Don’t remember when this option vanished but I’ve used it in the past.
This is my setup
> Python implementation: CPython
> Python version : 3.7.9
> IPython version : 7.19.0

It’s not quite the same situation, but I wonder if trying the solution at the end of the post [here](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/8028) may help?
Earlier in that post is a question of whether going to the classic notebook mode via `Help` \> `Launch Classic Notebook` and then use `Download as` from the `File` menu in classic mode will work for you at all? And if it works, is that sufficient for your needs?

Got the same issue over here with my yunohost installation of jupyterlab. I too used this option before and set it up by installing nbconvert and all the neccessary packets. Out of nowhere the option to “Export Notebook As…” vanished from the File menu. Anyone got a solution for this? Even reinstalling jupyterlab didnt help.

Funny enough, the solution is just to refresh the page. That works on me. Found the solution from [here](https://github.com/LibreTexts/metalc/issues/59#issuecomment-535757497)

You can use
> pip uninstall nbconvert
and then
> pip install nbconvert
It worked for me!

This happened to me due to some pip / home-brew file path conflicts. The following fixed it:
```auto
brew install jupyter
brew link --overwrite jupyterlab
```
