Cant Find: Instructor toolbar extension for Jupyter notebooks

[dfa...@g.harvard.edu]

Hi,

The docs demonstrate an instructor toolbar:

http://nbgrader.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/highlights.html

I can't figure out how to install this extension. According to the docs all the extensions should have been installed when I ran:

jupyter nbextension install --sys-prefix --py nbgrader --overwrite

If it was installed, I have no idea how to enable it. Or if its already enabled, how to find it.

Thanks

I figured this one out. It was installed with the above command. I found the features under: view-->cell toolbar-->create assignment

I still don't see the cell toolbar dropdown shown in the doc, but at least I know its enabled and functioning now.

Hi there,

The extension for nbgrader (i.e. toolbars) are installed automatically if you are using conda/Anaconda. If you are using pip for installation, there are a few additional steps as described here: http://nbgrader.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/installation.html#nbgrader-extensions

Once the extension is enabled, you are correct that the functionality is initially found under: View -> cell toolbar -> create assignment

To check if the notebook extension for nbgrader is installed, `jupyter nbextension list` will list the available extensions. To see if the server extension for nbgrader is installed, `jupyter serverextension list` will show if it is installed.

As of v5.0, much of the functionality can be accessed through the formgrader extension: https://nbgrader.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/creating_and_grading_assignments.html#creating-and-grading-assignments

or through a Python API: https://nbgrader.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/index.html

If you have suggestions on improving the documentation or discoverability of information, please file an issue on the nbgrader repo.

Thanks.
