Hi there,

What would be the best way (if there is any) to include a button on a rendered ipynb which opens the notebook on google colab (see example at the bottom)?

I could of course do it manually, but I have a lot of notebooks to render for a website which I pull from github.
Is this maybe possible with ipynb filters? If so, any pointer would be greatly appreciated since I am an utter python noob.

/Edit:
After some more research I found that jupyterbook has this feature.

Hi there, just transferred this over into issues. I agree that this should be a built-in feature!

In the meantime, I'd suggest writing a filter extension or custom format that automatically includes the "Open in Collab" button at the top of the body. See https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/

Adding to this, I would like to be able to download the notebook itself, too. So basically the rightmost icon in Jupyter Book.

Thanks, yes, we are working on this now so it should be available in v1.3.

What is the status here? I also think having a download button for .qmd files in general would be very handy! :) Thanks for all your efforts.

Thanks for your interest in this.
When there is an update you'll see that in the issue (this is true on every issues).
If there is no activity, it means there was no (official/public) progress on it.

For now, it is not schedule for any milestone, meaning the team is working on other things (i.e., dashboard, manuscript, cross-reference).
