1. Navigate to Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio using the URL from your admin and log in using your SSO or AWS credentials. 

1. Navigate to a project that uses the **SQL analytics** or **Data analytics and AI-ML model development** project profile. You can do this by using the center menu at the top of the page and choosing **Browse all projects**, then choosing the name of the project that you want to navigate to.

1. In the **Build** menu, choose **Query editor**. This takes you to the Query editor page.

1. To start writing a query, choose the \$1 icon at the top of the editor window to create a new tab. This creates a new querybook with an empty SQL cell.

For a guide to SQL commands you can use, see [SQL reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/cm_chap_SQLCommandRef.html) in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide or the [SQL reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/ddl-sql-reference.html) for Amazon Athena.

1. (Optional) To create more space for writing commands, add another SQL or markdown cell to the notebook.

To run a query, choose the **Run** icon to run queries in a specific cell, or choose **Run all** at the top of the editor window to run all queries on the page. A query runs until it is finished or until you use the **Stop** button.

After running a query, save the SQLNB file to the project to share it with other project members. The steps are as follows:

1. Expand the **Actions** menu and choose **Save to project**.

1. Confirm the action by choosing **Save changes**.
