# How can I create a workspace WITHOUT a study?

When your SWB account is first approved, your ‘Workspaces’ tab may look like this. Click “Create Research Workspace” to create a workspace.

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 workspace configurations with the "DEPRECATED" tag.**&#x20;

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”.&#x20;

In this example, we created a SageMaker instance with access to Jupyter Notebooks.&#x20;

I can now create a new python Jupyter notebook using an existing environment…&#x20;
