Did you specify the correct version spec? https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-collaboration/blob/main/RELEASE.md#version-specification

But then it can be weird to do the final release right after. Maybe do it on Monday to give the `rc` a few days? (or at least the weekend)....

Similar to this JupyterLab 4.3.0 (blocker) issue: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/16649 Are we fine to depend on an alpha release of `@jupyter/ydoc`? https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-collaboration/blob/b64b54bcdda18026d8571bf7ef61fb5946cfbf7f/packages/collaborative-drive/package.json#L40

Yes, but from the discussion in https://github.com/jupyter-server/jupyter_ydoc/issues/281, there seems to be one more issue to be fixed in `jupyter_ydoc` first before: https://github.com/jupyter-server/jupyter_ydoc/issues/269

> Some existing projects have each implemented this in their own way: And with new lab-based frontends popping up (for example [jupyterlite](https://github.com/jupyterlite/jupyterlite), [quetz-frontend](https://github.com/mamba-org/quetz-frontend)), this is becoming even more relevant. Some...

Adding to the 4.0 milestone for consideration, if anyone would like to work on this.

For reference / inspiration, RetroLab has a small plugin to show the status similar to the classic notebook: https://github.com/jupyterlab/retrolab/blob/0f7c026472e64b9f9073cce47a00c072d6a84af5/packages/notebook-extension/src/index.ts#L151-L206 https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/591645/120521468-359f1300-c3d5-11eb-8fe4-a7c84230f9b5.mp4

For reference, JupyterLite 0.6.0 introduced its own status indicator, currently with 3 states, mostly to help users debug their setup when something goes wrong in their browser and inspect the...
