As Azure Data Studio continues to grow and bring new features allowing us to be more productive in our day-to-day work activities, a fantastic new feature which has been included to assist those of you who are new to the product on getting started.
In this post we will have a look at the introduction of the Feature Tour on the Welcome Page. The Welcome Page was introduced a couple of releases ago and continues to be enhanced and modified to make your introduction simpler, with a great user experience.
If you are a first time user of Azure Data Studio, have a read of Episode 2 – Installation, where we show you where to get the tool from and how to install Azure Data studio.
Now that you have Azure Data Studio installed, we are good to have a look at the new Welcome Page and associated Feature Tour.
Upon starting Azure Data Studio, you should be greeted with the Welcome Page which is packed with useful information:
- Quick links for some common activities:
- Create a Connection
- Run a query
- Create a notebook
- Deploy a server
- Links to Microsoft created content on youtube to assist in your learnings and coming to grips with what Azure Data Studio has to offer
- Feature Tour
You can access the quick links either from the New Drop Down or from 1 of the 4 tabs that you are interested in.
Before you start playing with Azure Data Studio I do recommend that you walk through the Feature Tour, which introduces you to 5 key feature points in Azure Data Studio to ensure your experience is as you would like it.
Welcome to the world of Azure Data Studio.
