# How can I create a workspace linked to a study?
When your SWB account is first approved, your ‘Workspaces’ tab may look like this.
To link one or more studies to your workspace, navigate to the “Studies” tab.
At the top of the page, click on the "Organization" tab located to the right of the "My studies" tab. This will display all of the studies you have access to. Check the boxes next to the study folders you would like to link to your workspace and click “Next”.
This will bring up the different workspace configurations that are available for your use. You may want different workspace configurations for different projects. For example, a user interested in conducting machine learning workflows in a python Jupyter Notebook may choose the “SageMaker Notebook-v1” configuration. **In general, if there are multiple versions of a workspace available, use the most recent one, with the highest version number. Avoid configurations that have been tagged as "DEPRECATED".**
Next, you will input your workspace details.
After selecting “Create Research Workspace”, you will see your workspace being provisioned in the Workspaces tab. Expect this process to take 7-10 minutes.
When your research workspace status is “Available”, it is ready to use. Connect to your workspace by clicking “Connections” and then clicking “Connect”.
In this example, we created a SageMaker instance with access to Jupyter Notebooks.
I can now create a new python Jupyter notebook using an existing environment…
… and begin my analysis!
