Jupyter Variables tool window is missing in PyCharm after the Pro trial ends

October 22, 2026 07:34 Updated

Summary

In PyCharm 2025.1 and later, the Jupyter Variables tool window and the Jupyter Console are part of the Pro subscription. Jupyter notebooks stay free. After the Pro trial ends, you can still open notebooks and run cells, but the Jupyter Variables tool window is not available.

Question

The Jupyter Variables tool window was available during the Pro trial and is now gone. How can I get it back?

Answer

The Jupyter Variables tool window needs a Pro subscription. PyCharm without a subscription does not include it, and no setting turns it on.

With a Pro subscription, run a cell and the Jupyter Variables tool window opens on the right. If it does not open, go to Settings | Jupyter | Jupyter General and select Open the Variables tool window on the first cell execution.
