+# Frontend extension
+
+Recent versions of Jupytext (`>=1.16.0`) ships frontend extension that enables users
+to create text notebooks and pair notebooks from main menu of JupyterLab 4 and
+Notebook 7. In addition, the frontend extension adds selected Jupytext text
+notebook formats to launcher in the `Jupytext` section so that users can launch text
+notebooks as they launch a regular notebook from JupyterLab launcher.
+
+## Launcher icons
+
+After installing Jupytext extension, users will have a new category in the launcher
+called Jupytext as shown below:
+
+![](images/jupyterlab_launcher.png)
+
+Users can remove and/or add new formats to the Jupytext section _via_ `Settings>Jupytext`.
+
+![](images/jupyterlab_settings.png)
+
+By clicking `Add` and adding a new format, say `qmd`, will
+add the Quatro Text Notebook to the launcher. **Note** that users need to refresh the current browser tab when they modify the settings for them to take effect.
+
+Besides, users can also change the category of Text Notebook launcher icons using
+`Category` field in the Settings. For example, by using `Notebook` as category, all
+Text Notebook launchers will be moved into `Notebook` category.
+
+## Main menu
+
+It is also possible to launch text notebooks and/or pair existing notebooks from the dedicated Jupytext main menu as shown below.

-We assume that you have activated the conda environment described in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+For fine-grained access to the `jlpm` command and various build steps:
 
-Then you can rebuild the Jupytext python package (with `python -m build`) and reinstall it (`pip install dist/jupytext-x.x.x-py3-none-any.whl`).
+```bash
+pip install -e '.[dev]'
+cd jupyterlab/packages/jupyterlab-jupytext
+jlpm
+jlpm install:extension     # Symlink into `{sys.prefix}/share/jupyter/labextensions`
+```
 
-Alternatively, if you prefer to develop iteratively, you could install a development version of the extension with
+Watch the source directory and automatically rebuild the `lib` folder:
 
 ```bash
-jupyter labextension develop . --overwrite
+cd jupyterlab/packages/jupyterlab-jupytext
+# Watch the source directory in one terminal, automatically rebuilding when needed
+jlpm watch
+# Run JupyterLab in another terminal
+jupyter lab
 ```
 
+While running `jlpm watch`, every saved change to a `.ts` file will immediately be
+built locally and available in your running Jupyter client. "Hard" refresh JupyterLab or Notebook
+with <kbd>CTRL-F5</kbd> or <kbd>⌘-F5</kbd> to load the change in your browser
+(you may need to wait several seconds for the extension to be fully rebuilt).
+
