Is there an update on this ? Are any features missing ?

I think one of the blockers was being able to reuse the table of contents extension from JupyterLab in Notebook v7.

It was not easily possible for a while but should be possible now with the latest JupyterLab 4.0.0ax pre-releases.

In particular https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/12374 which was released in 4.0.0a25: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/releases/tag/v4.0.0a25.

@jweill-aws were you planning to resume work on this branch?

[JasonWeill]

@jtpio I am actively working on a different project at the moment. I don't have a plan to resume work on this item in the near term.

Thanks for answering. I'll take a look at it as soon as possible.

I rebased the PR and added the TOC dependency here. The table of contents exists in left menu but is empty.

The widget is null after : https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/blob/039934615eae2405f82a071152d8da8ee432727e/packages/toc-extension/src/index.ts#L274

It seems that the app.restored is resolved before the document is attached to the main area.

Thanks @jweill-aws and @brichet.

I don't have a plan to resume work on this item in the near term.

@brichet maybe we can open a new PR based on this commit and continue there?
