Best strategy to use a non-default template

[fcollonval]

What is the best strategy to use a custom voila template? Is it by setting voila_configuration.allow_template_override to False and forcing the wanted template?

The behaviour of the notebook toolbar button and the editor toolbar button is slightly different (the editor set the template but not the notebook):

voila-gridstack/packages/jupyterlab-gridstack/src/editor/components/notebookButtons.ts

Line 67 in 0d729c9

`${baseUrl}voila/render/${panel.context.path}`,

voila-gridstack/packages/jupyterlab-gridstack/src/editor/toolbar/voila.tsx

Lines 19 to 21 in 0d729c9

	const conf = '?voila-template=gridstack';
	const win = window.open(
	`${baseUrl}voila/render/${this._path + conf}`,

We need to remove the one from the notebook since voila-preview also adds this button (there is an issue #84).
Maybe we can change the icon and use this button to open voila with a gridstack template like the one on the editor's toolbar.

We can open voila with a specific template by adding ?voila-template=gridstack at the url.

Sorry the question was lacking clarity. In my company, we need to add branding to the template (like so many others). So forcing default gridstack template is not acceptable. For now the configuration is done on the server side to force the company's template.
