First and foremost, shortcuts are a way to connect to data without having a copy or movement within the environment. By using shortcuts, as you&#8217;ll see momentarily, we&#8217;re able to work with the data as if it was stored locally, when in reality, it could be stored externally.<\/p>\n<p>So on my screen currently, you see I&#8217;m connected to my bronze lakehouse. And what I want to do is I want to connect to some of these files I have here from my silver layer. So I&#8217;m going to switch over to the silver lakehouse and if I hover over files, and I click on these three dots, I get the option to create a new shortcut. So if I click that I&#8217;m in, I&#8217;m going to select one lake again, a listing of all the different lakehouses within the workspace. So for this demo, we&#8217;re going to select bronze and then I&#8217;m going to only bring in my AdventureWorks sample data. And once that&#8217;s done, you&#8217;ll get a new option here and it an icon to represent that this is a shortcut, and one of the cool things here is that you can actually navigate to this folder. And if you click on a CSV, it&#8217;ll actually give you a preview of the data. And then also, once we start to author our notebook<br \/>\nwe can actually go to some of these CSVs. And if we click on Load Data, this will actually generate some code for us that we can run.<\/p>\n<p>So if we click run cell here we need to give us a moment to spin up, there we go. So now we&#8217;re querying data from our bronze layer from our silver lakehouse and you can see we&#8217;re only referencing files within the silver layer. Just kind of convenient.<\/p>\n<p>Hoping you found this short video informative.
