The notebook should keep running in the background, but the notebook output will be lost. There’s an open issue here:

enhancement
pkg:notebook
tag:Server Change
tag:Real Time Collaboration
There's been a lot of requests in the past to:
* Reconnect to a long-running no… tebook and keep receiving new output.
* Reconnect to a notebook running on the server side and recover all output when reconnecting.
I'd like to resurface this issue. To the best of my knowledge, these features have been planned at least since 2015 (earliest reference I found: [link](https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/jupyter/8hyGKoBY6O0/RyEDDyOZAQAJ)). It hasn't been implemented yet because it directly conflicts with the architecture of the stack and would require a big refactor.
I don't know if this is easier in the JupyterLab context or not. But now that this project is in very active development, it might be a good opportunity to revisit this and try to get it in now at the foundations.
I found to open issues on the topic in the old notebooks repo:
* jupyter/notebook#1150
* jupyter/notebook#641
The first part of the work, JupyterLab RTC for collaborative editing , is available but it’s not production ready. See this topic for the current state of things:
Hi,
are there already plans to bring the new real time collaboration feature from jupyterlab to jupyterhub?
Additional work is still needed to allow a client to reconnect and receive the missed outputs.
