I've

• created a new python environment and activated it
• pip installed jupyterlab param bokeh and matplotlib in it
• installed the branch pip install -e .
• started jupyter lab
• created a new notebook (not named or saved it, but it has been autosaved)

If I save it, its the same.

Its the same with an empty notebook.

I don't see issues in the terminal except the 404

I should be able to use the preview correctly before merging.

[philippjfr]

That's really unrelated to what's being done in this PR. In a development install is different from a package install, so you may have to run:

jupyter serverextension enable panel.io.jupyter_server_extension

[philippjfr]

I'll just cut a dev release for you.
