## Using nbextensions for adding features to your notebook
|
|
|
|
There exist a number of useful [contributed but unofficial
|
|
extensions](https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)
|
|
that add useful features to your notebooks.
|
|
|
|
From the classic Notebook UI you can access the available extensions in a separate tab as displayed in the screenshot, below. You may have to unselect the *disable configuration for nbextensions without explicit copatibility*. The extensions we tested still worked fine with this jupyterhub version of 1.0.0.

## Extensions for working with large notebooks
|
|
|
|
Especially the following extensions make working with larger notebooks easier
|
|
* **Table of Contents**: Displays a TOC on the left and you can also configure it
|
|
to add and update a TOC at the head of the document.
|
|
* **Collapsible Headings**: allows you to fold all the cells below a heading
|
|
|
|
It may also be interesting for you to explore the [Jupytext](jupytext.html) server extension.

## Variable Inspector
|
|
|
|
The `variable inspector` extension provides a constantly updated window in which you can see the value and type of your notebook's variables.
