-Jupyter Notebook 7.2 is based on JupyterLab 4.2, and includes a number of new features, bug fixes, and enhancements for extension developers. This release is compatible with extensions supporting JupyterLab 4.0. Extension authors are recommended to consult the [Extension Migration Guide](https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extension/extension_migration.html#jupyterlab-4-0-to-4-1) which lists deprecations and changes to the public API.
-
-Below are a few highlights for this new release. Most of the new features and improvements come from the update to JupyterLab 4.2, although they are not all supported in Notebook 7.2.
+### Full Width Notebook
 
-For reference you may have a look at the JupyterLab 4.2 changelog to learn more: https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/changelog.html#v4-2
+It is now possible to configure the notebook to take up the full width of the page via:
 
-### Full notebook windowing mode by default
+- a setting that can be defined by a user via the Settings Editor
+- the `View > Enable Full Width Notebook` menu entry
+- the command palette, searching for `Enable Full Width Notebook`
 
-Notebooks in the `full` windowing mode only render the visible cells, significantly improving the performance of the application. One limitation of `full` mode is that the search function in your browser may produce false negatives; using the search function is recommended. To revert to the behaviour from Notebook 7.2, go to Settings → Settings Editor → Notebook, scroll to “Windowing mode”, and choose `defer`.
+![a screenshot showing how to enable full width notebook via the menu](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/148b227a-874a-4bb3-a4c6-c7350525ccc4)
 
-### Improved Shortcuts Editor
+This is particularly useful on large displays, or for those who prefer working with a wider notebook.
 
-Among the numerous improvements and bug fixes for the keyboard shortcuts editor:
+It is also still possible to use the JupyterLab interface for a more fully-featured interface, which allows for full-width notebooks too, and offers a "Simple Interface" mode for only showing a single notebook at a time.
 
-- it is now possible to remove the default shortcuts,
-- shortcuts are correctly sorted when using a language pack,
-- shortcuts with different arguments are now correctly displayed as individual entries.
