## About the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} plugin
The {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} plugin is already installed in the JetBrains client when you connect to a codespace from the JetBrains Gateway. The plugin adds the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} tool window to the user interface.
Click **{% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %}** at the bottom left of the JetBrains client's application window to open the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} tool window.

## Using the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} tool window
The {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} tool window shows:
* The repository from which you created this codespace.
* The display name of the codespace.
* The current branch.
* The machine specifications.
* The time for which this codespace can remain idle before it is automatically stopped.
* The age of the codespace.
* The period for which a stopped codespace will be retained before it is automatically deleted.
The icons at the top of the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} tool window provide the following functions.
* **Refresh active codespace**

Refresh the details in the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} tool window. For example, if you used {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %} to change the display name, you could click this button to show the new name.
* **Disconnect and stop**

Stop the codespace, stop the backend IDE on the remote machine, and close the local JetBrains client.

* **Rebuild the dev container**

Rebuild your codespace to apply changes you've made to the dev container configuration. The JetBrains client will close and you must reopen the codespace. For more information, see "[Codespaces lifecycle](/codespaces/developing-in-codespaces/codespaces-lifecycle#rebuilding-a-codespace)."
