Hi @emiliocimino! Thanks for dropping by! It is technically possible to do this and we have experimented with it in the past, but we haven't found users requesting it. So, at the moment it is not on our roadmap. Do you have a frequent use for this feature of JupyterLab?

Hi @rokroskar, thanks for answering :).

I found the collaborative mode particularly useful while working on certain ML projects that require joint coding efforts. In such cases, the version control offered by JupyterLab in collaborative mode is more efficient in synchronizing multiple clients compared to using git, resulting in being more productive.

Ok thanks for clarifying! I will move this issue to the main renku repo because implementing this actually impacts several different components. I don't think the effort is huge, so it's possible we can fit it in in the next few months, especially if we find that other users are also interested in such a feature.

Just to clarify before diving further into this - you are using renku sessions via renkulab.io or are you just using the docker images and running them some other way?
