Closes #6411

References

Addresses a request to add a welcome tour for the Notebook v7 interface.

Code changes

Added a JSON-based tour configuration for the jupyterlab-tour extension.

Identified and implemented specific CSS selectors for UI elements:

Jupyter Logo: [data-icon="notebook-ui-components:jupyter"]

Main Menu Bar: .lm-MenuBar-content

Save Button: [data-jp-item-name="save"]

Code Cell: .jp-CodeCell

User-facing changes

Adds a new "Welcome to Notebook v7" entry to the Help menu.

When clicked, this launches an interactive, multi-step guide that walks new users through the essential parts of the notebook interface.

Backwards-incompatible changes

None. This is a purely additive feature using existing stable APIs.

@dheerusri324 do you have any steps to show how this works?

Hi @goelakash! Thanks for taking a look. Yes, absolutely!
Here is a quick screen recording showing exactly how the tour behaves when a user triggers it from the Help menu:

@dheerusri324 Seems like there are 3 tours in that drop down now? I'm not sure if more than 1 are even relevant/needed?
@jtpio thoughts?

Hi @goelakash, thank you for the feedback. I understand the concern regarding the Help menu potentially becoming crowded with multiple tour options.

@jtpio, what are your thoughts on this? I am happy to consolidate the existing tours, hide the older ones to prioritize this new Notebook v7 tour, or leave them as they are. Please let me know which approach best aligns with the v7 design goals, and I will update the PR accordingly.

Look into overriding the existing Jupyterlab tour in the help menu, than add a new one.
