How to get the widgets menu in the notebook?

[David Ketcheson]

Dumb question here: at http://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/embedding.html it claims that there is a widgets menu in the menu bar, but I don't see that in my notebook, even when I click on a cell with a widget.  I'm running version Jupyter 4.3.2, which I believe is the latest release.  How can I get that menu?

Hi David,

I'm sure others will chime in with additional feedback too. It seems like nbextension may not be enabled. If you have installed the notebook and ipywidgets using pip, there is an additional step `jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension`. If you installed using conda, I don't believe that step is needed. [Reference]

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Carol

Thank you, Carol!  That worked.

However, in the widgets menu I have now, the first option is "save notebook with snapshots".  That seems to just save an image with the current state of each widget.  In the menu shown at http://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/embedding.html, the first option is "save notebook with widgets", which I guess saves the entire widget state in the notebook so that if I upload it and view it (say in nbviewer) the widget will work.  How can I get that option?

Great! I'm glad that helped.

I would recommend that you ask this on the Gitter channel for ipywidgets: https://gitter.im/ipython/ipywidgets

I'm sure that Sylvain and others could give you a more detailed response on this question :-)

I'm guessing, but try updating ipywidgets and widgetsnbextension.

Thanks!  The gitter channel was very helpful.  In case anyone else is curious, this feature is only in ipywidgets 6.0, which currently is in beta (so I was able to get it by cloning master from Github).
