[FIXED] How to reconnect to an existing Jupyter notebook session in VS code?

Issue

I remember I was able to reconnect to an existing Jupyter notebook session in VS code before by changing the kernel for a notebook. Now the option to reconnect to an existing session is gone, see:

How do I reconnect to an existing Jupyter notebook session in VS code?

To be clear, the sessions were never shut down. In fact, I can still see them running in the Running tab of my browser version of jupyter notebook, although clicking on them results in a 404 error:

The jupyter kernel is running on a remote server. I use a SSH session to connect back to it when I work.

Current versions: VS code is v1.68.1 and the Jupyter extension on remote machine is v2022.5.1001601848, if that helps.

Solution

If you would like to connect to an existing jupyter server can you do so by going into the command Jupyter: Specify Jupyter Server for Connections and selecting the appropriate remote server from the list. If the required server is not on that list, then you can select it.
