It integrates Y documents (a CRDT-based data structure) to synchronize notebook content across multiple connected clients, and adds UI elements to show who is editing and where.\n\nThe package is designed for teams and classrooms where multiple users need to work on the same notebook at the same time. Installation is straightforward\u2014a single pip or conda command\u2014and collaboration features become available immediately within JupyterLab. It depends on jupyter-collaboration-ui, jupyter-docprovider, jupyter-server-ydoc, and jupyterlab itself, all of which are pulled in automatically.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is licensed permissively. It is the standard way to enable real-time collaboration in JupyterLab. Install it if you need multi-user editing; skip it if you work alone or use external version control for notebooks."},"id":"jupyter-collaboration","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jupyter-collaboration","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jupyter-collaboration.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jupyter-collaboration/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"jupyter-collaboration","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"JupyterLab/Jupyter Notebook 7+ Real Time Collaboration extension (metapackage)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":316993,"position":7672,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.0.0"}
